Program overview
What is Marriott Vacation Club?
Marriott Vacation Club (MVC) is the timeshare arm of Marriott Vacations Worldwide, separate from Marriott International (the hotel company) since the 2011 spinoff. MVC operates Destination Points — the current points-based system — alongside legacy Weeks ownership that pre-dates 2010. The program targets the premium end of the timeshare market with Marriott-branded resorts in Hawaii, the Caribbean, Mexico, Europe, and high-demand U.S. destinations. Point allocations are smaller than most timeshare programs (a typical owner holds 1,500–7,000 Vacation Club Points annually), but each point is worth substantially more on the rental market — typical secondary-market value is $0.35–$0.90 per point.
Mechanics
How Marriott VC points work
Destination Points cover the entire MVC portfolio. Reservation costs vary by season, resort tier, and unit size — a 1-bedroom in Maui during peak season might cost 5,000 points, while the same unit in shoulder season costs 2,800. Owners can book 13 months out at their "home" resort and 12 months everywhere else. Unused points can be transferred to Marriott Bonvoy hotel points (at unfavorable rates, typically 20:1 — only worth doing as a last resort to avoid forfeiture), banked forward one year, or rented to third parties. The smaller point counts mean MVC owners feel each point loss more acutely than Wyndham or Bluegreen owners with larger allocations.

Expiration
When Marriott VC points expire
Vacation Club Points expire 13 months after your use-year start date if not used or banked. You can bank points one year forward via the online portal — this is critical to avoid forfeiture. Marriott Bonvoy conversion is available year-round but at a poor rate (typically 1 Vacation Club Point = 20 Bonvoy points), so it should be a last resort. Borrowing points from the next use year is also possible but reduces next year's allocation.
Cash strategy
Turning Marriott VC points into cash
MVC points have the highest per-point rental value of any major timeshare program. A 1-bedroom in Maui during peak season rents for $400–$700/night on Airbnb — and 1 week of points (around 5,000) covers that stay, implying a rental value of $2,800–$5,000 for an allocation that cost the owner roughly $1,200–$2,500 in maintenance fees. Owners who self-rent capture more of the spread but bear booking risk. Services like Timeshare Rental Pros pay $0.30–$0.50 per point upfront — less than full self-rental upside but with zero work and guaranteed payment.

Exit options
Getting out of Marriott Vacation Club ownership
Marriott Vacations Worldwide does not operate a public buyback comparable to Wyndham Ovation. ("Abound by Marriott Vacations," launched in 2022, is MVW's current points-based membership and exchange program — not an exit program.) Resale through licensed brokers (Holiday Group, Sumday Vacations) typically recovers 20–40% of original purchase price for legacy Weeks; Destination Points contracts sell for 15–30% of purchase price. Right of First Refusal — MVW's option to buy back your contract at the offered price — slows down resale transactions by 30–60 days.
Frequently asked
Marriott VC owners frequently ask
How much are Marriott Vacation Club points worth?
Marriott Vacation Club Points are worth $0.35–$0.90 each on the secondary rental market, depending on resort mix and season. A typical 5,000-point allocation might rent for $2,500–$4,500 per year. Per-point value is much higher than Wyndham or Bluegreen because Marriott resorts are premium and point allocations are smaller.
Can I convert MVC points to Marriott Bonvoy points?
Yes, but the conversion rate is poor — typically 1 Vacation Club Point = 20 Bonvoy points. That makes it a last-resort use of expiring points, not a primary strategy. You'd need to spend hundreds of thousands of Bonvoy points to redeem a single high-value Marriott property, so converting is rarely the best move.
Is Marriott Vacation Club the same as Marriott Bonvoy?
No. Marriott Vacation Club (MVC) is timeshare ownership operated by Marriott Vacations Worldwide. Marriott Bonvoy is the hotel loyalty program for Marriott International. They are separate companies as of 2011 and have separate point systems. Don't confuse "Marriott points value" articles — most cover Bonvoy, not MVC.
What's the difference between Marriott Weeks and Destination Points?
Marriott Weeks is the legacy system where you own a specific week at a specific resort. Destination Points is the modern points-based system where you have flexibility across the entire MVC portfolio. Weeks owners can enroll in the Destination Points program (for a fee) to gain flexibility, but most Weeks owners stay with their original ownership.
Can I sell my Marriott Vacation Club ownership?
Yes, through licensed timeshare resale brokers. Recovery is 20–40% of original purchase price for legacy Weeks and 15–30% for Destination Points contracts. Marriott Vacations Worldwide retains Right of First Refusal, which means they can match your sale price within 30 days — this is rarely exercised but slows transactions.
How do I rent out my MVC points?
Self-renting via Airbnb or Vrbo captures the most value but requires booking peak weeks at desirable resorts and managing the rental yourself. Services like Timeshare Rental Pros pay $0.30–$0.50 per point upfront for unused annual points — less than self-rental upside but no work and guaranteed cash within 24 hours.
