You can always buy more points from marriott directly. They will sell you points in increments of 500-1000. We bought ours when they first rolled out the program (but already had owned weeks, so we purchased more points to complement our ownership). You can also buy points from other MVC owners at a lower rate on the secondary market (red week, tug, eBay, etc). I am not sure what they are selling for now, directly from marriott, but I would guess around 12 dollars per point. 
Your 3100 points would remain consistent each year if they are trust points. If your in laws originally owned weeks, then you can still use your original week at your original place. Or, you can trade for points and use the other marriot properties (which is what we always have done). 
We have been extremely happy with it and have gotten great use from it. 
Do your in laws have a mortgage on their deed or do they own it outright? If so, you would only have the annual maintenece fees to worry about.  Good luck![/quote]

thanks.  I think it is not a total rip off if someone gives you the points.  I probably could get a 2-room or studio type hotel or room for around the same price as the annual maintenance + annual dues, but not that much less and the Marriott rooms are nice, and I'm doing my in-laws a favor (that is the big thing, and I don't want them to act like they are giving me a gift!).  But two more questions.  (1) If I bought more points on the secondary market, which likely would be tied to a different resort for a different week, could I simply combine my total points for exchange purposes? (2)  My in-laws deal is an every-other year deal.  Can you turn that into a yearly thing on the secondary market or do you need to go through Marriott?  (not that I want to do that, just curious).[/quote]
