Is Marriott Vacation Club a Timeshare?
Yes. Marriott Vacation Club is a points-based timeshare (vacation ownership) operated by Marriott Vacations Worldwide (MVW), covering 90+ resorts. On this site's brand file, Vacation Club Points carry an estimated secondary-market rental value of 35¢–90¢ per points; a typical 8,000-points year is about $2,800–$7,200 in rental value — an estimate, not a payout.
Yes — vacation ownership, not a hotel stay
The Marriott Vacation Club brand page describes Vacation Club Points as an annual allocation deployed against the program's point charts — reservations priced by resort, season, and unit size, with banking and borrowing rules set by Marriott Vacations Worldwide (MVW). This answer does not replace that brand page, and we do not publish official point charts here.
No. Marriott Bonvoy is the hotel loyalty program run by Marriott International. Marriott Vacation Club is a separate company, Marriott Vacations Worldwide (MVW), operating timeshare resorts under license. Abound by Marriott Vacations is the club’s membership/exchange program — it is not an exit program.
What the points are worth
Published rental value on this site: 35¢–90¢ per points. A typical 8,000-points year is about $2,800–$7,200. Those figures come from the brand file — the same rates as our point-values table and what Marriott Vacation Club points are worth. We are not inventing a different rate for this answer.
Selling or exiting
Marriott Vacations Worldwide does not operate a public buyback comparable to Wyndham Ovation. Owners typically exit through licensed resale brokers or by renting Destination Points; Right of First Refusal can add 30–60 days to a resale. This site does not publish a dollar buyback because none is offered.
