You're in the right place, you spell just like bigfrank

If you see value in the Marriott Rewards system, then go for it. Otherwise spend a few months reading this BBS and get twice as much for half the price but no Marriott Rewards.

Please do not sign or buy anything right now - a Marriott Horizons Orlando EOY can be purchased resale for under 5K - probably quite a bit under in fact....

Start by googling "Marriott Horizon Resale" and see what u get.

I am a 2 week Marriott owner and very happy with that ownership....but do your homework.
95,000 points will give you a few nights in a hotel room - not worth giving up your 2BR TS unit for in my opinion.

Wow... that's a BIG difference in point value I was looking into marriot too, was offered Horizons Platinum Branson EOY at just over $10,000... only 65,000 points, glad we didn't buy yet.
