Marriott Vacation Club is one of the best timeshare brands to own with. But sometimes timeshares don’t fit your lifestyle anymore, or maybe maintenance fees outgrew your budget. No matter why you are thinking of selling your Marriott timeshare, there are solutions for you. Let’s take a look at them.
About Marriott Vacation Club
Marriott Vacation Club is Marriott Vacations Worldwide’s timeshare club, originating from one of the largest hospitality brands in the world. With Marriott Vacation Club, Marriott vacationers can have the amazing vacations they know and love but with more freedom. Marriott’s points-based system helps owners make the most of their ownership, along with thousands of travel opportunities around the globe.
As a Marriott Vacation Club owner, you become the owner of a deeded real estate interest that can be passed on for generations to come. A Marriott timeshare offers perpetual ownership, so you can keep making vacation memories for a lifetime. The Marriott timeshare program gives owners a yearly allotment of points which are replenished each year. So you can consider these points as “vacation currency” that can be spent, borrowed or banked. Ultimately this means that if you can’t use points this year, then you can use them the following year. Or, if you want to upgrade your trip this year, then you can borrow points from the next year. Timeshares offer many benefits, but if you don’t want to own one, you can sell.
Selling Marriott Timeshare: Review Your Options
The first thing that you should do when you are looking to sell your timeshare is to reach out to Marriott directly for guidance. In some cases, they may be able to provide you with direct assistance or resources to maximize your ownership. Did you know Marriott owns other brands such as Sheraton Vacation Club, Westin Vacation Club, Ritz-Carlton and St. Regis? This means when you own with MVC, you have access to these brands. Not to mention, Interval International is owned by Marriott Vacations Worldwide. Thousands of resorts and hotels are available to you around the world when you trade your Marriott ownership through II.
For those of you who are struggling with maintenance fees or simply just want a way out of your timeshare. Then, it may be time to sell. You should contact Marriott first, as we mentioned before. When all maintenance fees and mortgages have been paid off, Marriott may purchase back your timeshare.
Another option instead of selling would be to offer your points to your friends or family members. Your ownership is put to good use, and you can feel good knowing your ownership isn’t being wasted. In this case, you might be able to let them rent your points from you to pay your annual maintenance fees. Or, gift it to them. I mean, who wouldn’t love a trip?
Some owners don’t want to offer their points up, don’t get an offer from Marriott on their ownership, or simply don’t like the offer Marriott gives them. If that is you, then turning to the resale market could be the solution to selling your timeshare with someone like Timeshares Only. Make sure you’re aware of any scams before selling your Marriott timeshare on the resale market.
