Thanks again my friend!  You are very knowledgeable in this topic and i appreciate your feedback.  Ive been doing a lot of research on this and i can say the more research i do the more i like this point system, as a first time buyer of course……believe me i understand there are a lot of old school timeshare people who loath the whole idea of this but, i have a  hybrid offer directly from marriott with 2 weeks aruba as the home resort booking advantage, one in platinum and 1 in gold season, exactly what i need to fit my needs.  However, with this investmemt i wanted to make sure it is worth the extra money as opposed to attempting a discounted resale….i am beginning to believe that it is.
