Marriott Vacation Club owners! Protect yourself!!

Marriott Vacation Club has a policy that is little known by owners, and that the company wishes to keep from being broadcast. If the property becomes uninhabitable or is affected by a mandatory evacuation, the owners lose the points without recourse. This appears to be case for those there at the time, and it may apply to reservations that fall within the pre-arrival time frame where the reservation is in the non-cancellation window.

Hurricane season is particularly problematic. Vacation insurance that they sell is very expensive. A better solution, in my opinion, is to avoid hurricane prone area on the east coast and Caribbean area from mid-August until October.
