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 timeshare system helps owners make the most of their vacation ownership, along with thousands of travel opportunities around the globe.
As a Marriott Vacation Club owner, you own 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.
How to Sell Marriott Vacation Club Timeshare: Review Your Options
Make Sure You Are Maximizing Your Ownership
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 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.

Selling Your Marriott Timeshare Back to Marriott
For those of you who are struggling with maintenance fees or simply want a way out of your timeshare, 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, you may be able to sell your Marriott timeshare ownership back to Marriott.
Gifting Your Marriott Timeshare to Friends or Family
Another option instead of selling would be to offer your points to your friends or family members. Because Marriott Vacation Club ownership involves a deeded contract, you are free to gift your timeshare to whomever you please. When you give your points to friends or family, your ownership is put to good use, and you can feel good knowing your ownership isn’t being wasted. Alternatively, you might be able to let them rent your points from you to pay your annual maintenance fees.
Sell Your Marriott Vacation Club Membership on the Resale Market
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 timeshare resale market could be the solution to selling your timeshare.

FAQ About Selling Marriott Timeshare Points on the Resale Market
Can I rent out my timeshare while I am in the resale process?
The answer is generally yes. You can rent out your timeshare even when you have it posted for sale! The majority of timeshare owners are able to safely rent out their weeks or points through a marketplace like Timeshares Only. In order to facilitate the renting process, Timeshares Only works with both owners and potential renters.
How much can you sell Marriott timeshare for on the resale market?
When you reach out to Timeshares Only, a representative can help you determine a good price for your specific ownership. It is important to note that timeshares rarely appreciate in value. A timeshare is not a financial investment and is unlikely to sell for the amount you paid for it originally.
Who will buy my Marriott Vacation Club ownership?
It is common for buyers to look for Marriott timeshare resales. Buyers looking for resale properties are looking to save money while experiencing many of the same benefits enjoyed by the original owner. There are interested buyers out there, as Marriott is a popular vacation club.
Can you sell your Marriott timeshare without upfront fees?
Yes! As a rule of thumb, you should never have to pay upfront to sell your timeshare on the resale market. In fact, if a company wants to charge you thousands of dollars in upfront fees, this is an immediate red flag, and a sign of a timeshare exit company scam. Timeshares Only isn’t a timeshare exit company. As long-standing members of ARDA, we pride ourselves on offering ethical resale solutions for sellers in need.
How much will it cost to sell my Marriott timeshare?
In theory, you can sell your timeshare on the resale market for free. However, there are some expenses you might incur along the way. If, for instance, you owe on your maintenance fees, you will need to pay them off before you sell. Another thing to keep in mind is that while the buyer will usually pay the closing costs, the buyer might ask you to pay for commissions or other fees involved in closing. These terms are negotiable, so ultimately it’s up to you whether you have to pay for any closing costs.
