How to Rent Out Your Timeshare Points
There are two ways to rent out timeshare points. (1) Self-rent: book a peak-season week with your points, list the reservation on Airbnb, Vrbo, or a timeshare marketplace, and manage the guest yourself — more money, but more work and you carry the risk if it doesn’t book. (2) Sell your points to a buyer service: a company like Timeshare Rental Pros (our affiliate partner) pays you cash up front, usually within 24 hours, and does the booking and renting itself. Self-rent captures the most value; a buyer service is the no-work, guaranteed-cash option. Either way, you keep your contract.
Path 1: Rent it yourself
Self-renting is the highest-upside option and the most hands-on. The mechanics are the same across programs: book a reservation your points cover — ideally a peak-season week at a resort people actually want — then list that reservation on Airbnb, Vrbo, or a timeshare-specific marketplace like RedWeek or Koala. You set the price, handle guest questions, and collect the payment. (Deciding between marketplaces? See our TRP vs Koala vs RedWeek comparison.)
The honest tradeoff: you carry the risk. If the week doesn't book, you've spent the points and have nothing to show for it. Demand also varies wildly by resort — a Maui Marriott or a Vegas Strip week rents fast, while a low-season inland property can sit. And a few programs, Disney Vacation Club especially, monitor accounts for commercial renting and can restrict members who do it at volume.
If you want to know roughly what a week is worth before you list it, the calculator turns your program and point count into a rental-value range in about 30 seconds.
Path 2: Sell your points to a buyer service
This is what most owners actually want when they can't use a year's points and don't want to become an Airbnb host. You tell a buyer service your program and how many points you have; they make you a cash offer and pay it up front — usually within 24 hours — then handle the booking and renting on their end. You don't list anything, message a guest, or wait for a booking to clear.
Our affiliate partner for this is Timeshare Rental Pros (we earn a commission if you transact with them, which we disclose because it should change how you read a recommendation). The thing that makes a buyer service a buyer service and not a scam: they pay you, and they never charge the owner an upfront fee. If a company wants money from you before they pay you, walk away — see our guide to selling points without upfront fees.
What your points rent for, by program
Per-point rental value is all over the map. Disney Vacation Club leads at roughly $13–$19 per point — a 200-point Use Year can rent for $2,600–$3,800. Marriott Vacation Club runs 35¢–90¢, Diamond 8¢–18¢, and WorldMark 7¢–14¢. Volume programs like Club Wyndham are worth a fraction of a cent per point because owners hold hundreds of thousands of them — a full allocation still rents for over $1,000. Westgate sits at the bottom, around 0.4¢–1¢, which is part of why self-renting it is a grind.

Frequently asked questions
Can I rent out my timeshare points without selling the contract?
Yes — that’s the whole point. Renting (or selling) a year’s unused points is separate from selling the underlying ownership. You keep the deed and the membership and just monetize the points you weren’t going to use. This is the right move for owners who still want to travel but have an off year.
How much can I make renting my timeshare points?
It depends entirely on the program. Disney Vacation Club points rent for $13–$19 each (a 200-point year can pull $2,600–$3,800), while volume programs like Club Wyndham are worth a fraction of a cent per point — though a full allocation can still rent for over $1,000. Marriott (35¢–90¢), WorldMark (7¢–14¢), and Diamond (8¢–18¢) fall in between. Use the calculator for a ballpark.
Is it legal to rent out my timeshare points?
For most programs, occasional renting is allowed. The catch is commercial-use rules: Disney Vacation Club in particular monitors accounts and can flag or restrict members who rent out a large number of reservations. If you’re renting one week, you’re fine. If you’re running it like a business, read your program’s rules — or use a buyer service that takes the reservations off your personal account.
What’s easier — renting it myself or using a buyer service?
A buyer service is far easier. You give them your program and points, they make an offer, and they pay you cash up front — no listing, no guest messages, no risk of an empty week. Self-renting earns more per point but you do all the work and eat the loss if it doesn’t book. A reputable service like Timeshare Rental Pros never charges the owner a fee.
