I recently spent a week at the Marriott Ko Olina Resort in Kauai. Hit up the T/S presentation and was offered to purchase 1500 (per year) points for $11,000.00. I guess they are now called “Trust Points”. A bit too much for my budget. As an alternative. I've seen some real inexpensive resale Marriott weeks, those, for example, in Palm Desert (Shadow Ridge Etc.) Can I just buy one of those weeks, go through some sort of process (and admin expense) and convert that resale to Marriott points for much less that what our “counsellor/salesman” offered? I wonder if anyone has done that. Thanks in advance for your responses-Dan
