Exit Guides · By Program
How to exit a timeshare — the brand-direct way.
Every major program has a brand-direct exit pathway. They're usually free, usually faster than paid “exit companies,” and almost always the right first move. Pick your program for a step-by-step guide.
The rule
Brand-direct first. Resale second. Specialized contingency services third. Never an upfront-fee exit company.
~85% of owners who want out can exit for free or near-free using a brand-direct program. The upfront-fee “exit company” industry exists primarily for the 15% who can't — and even those owners usually do better with resale brokers or contingency-only services.

Before you exit
Recover this year's points value first.
Whatever points you have left for this use year are worth real cash. Selling them takes ~48 hours; the brand-direct exit takes weeks to months. Do both. Free estimate in 30 seconds.
