What is Marriott Vacation Club?

Marriott Vacation Club is a points-based vacation ownership program that offers flexible access to more than 50 premium resorts across the U.S., Caribbean, and beyond. Whether you're looking to book a luxury resort stay, rent out unused points, or understand how the system works, this guide covers everything you need to know. Learn how to maximize your Marriott Vacation Club experience, whether you're an owner or a guest.

How does Marriott Vacation Club work?

Key benefits include:

  • No fixed week or location
  • Access to over 50 Marriott Vacation Club destinations
  • Ability to bank, borrow, or transfer points
  • Use of points for travel packages and experiences

Marriott Vacation Club points explained

Vacation Club Points act as currency to book accommodations and experiences. Each resort and date range has its own point value chart, and owners can:

  • Book entire vacations or short stays
  • Use points to reserve premium dates and resort units
  • Rent out points they don't plan to use

Common questions:

Do Marriott Vacation Club points expire?

Yes, if unused, they can expire, but owners can bank or rent them before that happens.

Can you buy or sell Marriott points?

Yes. Travelscowt helps owners rent their points to travelers looking for access without long-term commitment.
