MARRIOTT VACATION CLUB

Vacation timeshare has come of age, and of the big name developers, Marriott led the way.

 Marriott's timeshare division is called Marriott Vacation Club International (MVCI). Marriott high quality accommodations and marketing innovations have sky-rocketed sales, and as a result the timeshare (vacation ownership) portion of Marriott's profit base has become a critically important segment.

Marriott Vacation Club owners have the right to convert their timeshare accommodation to rewards points - credits that can be spent for such things as airline tickets and stays in Marriott hotels worldwide. In so doing the owner foregoes use of the luxury vacation condo and any right to rent the unit for the year. Most owners who have studied in detail the value of the rewards points as opposed to simply renting the unit, choose to take the rental income.

In 2011 Marriott initiated a different type of points program which are points related to use of the condo, entitling the owner to "spend" the points to stay in various locations.

 With Marriott timeshare points, known as Marriott Rewards® Points, the timeshare owner can choose to forego the use of the timeshare by assigning the occupancy rights to Marriott, in return for Rewards® Points that can be spent like dollars for things OTHER THAN TIMESHARE USAGE.  Such things as airline tickets, Marriott Hotels, merchandise, car rentals, cruises and more. 

Members can opt to convert their timeshare accommodation to rewards points in most cases no more frequently than every other year. There is also a charge charge to convert.

 Note that persons who buy their timeshares on the resale market are not allowed by Marriott to opt to participate in the Marriott Rewards® Points program, unless the resale points are purchased from Marriott.

Because of this, some Marriott buyers have told us that in order to take advantage of good buys on resales, rather than buying new and relinquishing their timeshare unit to Marriott in order to get points, they opted to instead buy resale and rent-out the timeshare, using the rental proceeds to buy the items the points would have bought. (Airline tickets, hotel rooms, etc.)

The Marriott accommodations are so exceptional that they sell well on the resale market IF they are priced correcty. Contact us for an evaluation.
