Greetings!
Like many
owners, you are probably accumulating Marriott Rewards points. You earn points from trading your villa
into points, using the Marriott Visa card and/or staying at Marriott
hotels. From previous newsletters
you may recall that Travel Packages, which offer airline miles and hotel stays, provide the greatest value for your points. When combining Travel Packages with cruises or timeshare stays, you can create truly memorable vacations for a minimal cost. To start you thinking of some creative vacation ideas, I have provided summaries of real-life trips we
have planned for Marriott owners.

Where is your next dream trip?
|
The trips below were all planned using a combination of Marriott Rewards points, airline miles and timeshare trades. (The cruises were paid for with cash instead of points as a greater value for the points were achieved using them for Business Class airfare.)

As you can see, you can start your trip in one location and return from another. You can use airline miles to meet a cruise ship and front end or back end the trip in the port cities. You can mix and match hotel stays and timeshare stays. You own your timeshare to travel. Now make the most of it!
