Selling Vacation Club Timeshare Points

With the development of the timeshare industry over the past 40 years, consumers often ask if a vacation club is the same as a timeshare and if it is possible to sell vacation club points on the resale market.

Timeshare vs Vacation Club

The vacation club timeshare evolution has spawned various programs, such as the Disney Vacation Club which is a points-based vacation club product with a limited term ownership. Others, such as Wyndham Vacation Resorts, have deeded ownership but operate on a club points system. Marriott started as a weeks-based timeshare program in 1984 before evolving into the hybrid weeks-points vacation club product that it is today.

At the resort level, the operations are very similar whether the program is a vacation club, timeshare or a mix of the two. The primary differences are:

• Vacation clubs are membership programs where an owner is usually given an amount of points to use to book accommodation. An owner can select from within the network of resorts and choose a size of unit and time of year that suits their needs. Timeshare owners with a week product can use the week and unit they own at the resort, or use an exchange program for additional options.

• Timeshares are primarily deeded real estate and owned in perpetuity, where vacation clubs are mostly a right-to-use program with a limited term, such as the 25-year term for Disney Vacation Club. Both can be sold on the resale market.
