Everything you need to know about Exploria:

Club Exploria is one of the newest timeshare brands, launched in 2014 as part of Exploria Resorts (the parent company and hotel developer). You can join Club Exploria by purchasing a piece of one of your favorite Exploria Resorts, sold in increments of one week use rights at a time.  Your deeded ownership is converted into Exploria Points, or EXPOs) that can be used throughout thousands of resorts and hotels all over the world.  Since you own a deeded Real Estate interest, you can sell your Club Exploria ownership, bequeath it to a loved one or otherwise convey (transfer the title) to a third party.

Exploria's over 85,000 owners enjoy a resort network of seven properties in four states. Resort locations include Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge, Daytona Beach, Orlando, New Smyrna Beach, Branson and the Poconos.

Exploria's guests enjoy family friendly properties located in the most popular vacation destinations in the U.S. With conveniently located rich in amenities, Exploria members can plan fantastic vacations every year.

Club Exploria is a points based timeshare ownership brand that offers one week increments of  deeded Real Estate properties for sale. When you buy a week at your favorite Club Exploria Resort, it is converted into EXPOs (Exploria Points) that can be used towards booking your vacations in a variety of ways with flexibility to fit any lifestyle and schedule.  

The amount of EXPO points you receive with your ownership stays the same each year and depends on the details of what you own:

-  Season or time of year
-  Size of accomodations
-  Popularity of home resort

Your EXPO points are deposited each year into your account on the same day, January 1st, and you have one calendar (called Use Year) to use, bank or exchange them or they expire. 

When you book a vacation, the points for the reservation are taken from the points assigned to that year (for example if you call in 2019 to book your vacation in 2020, the points come out of your 2020 Use Year).

You can book a stay with a check-in up to 13 months out at your home resort and 11 months out with priority, depending on your membership level and availability.

How to exchange EXPOs

Club Exploria makes it easy for owners to exchange their EXPO points right in the owner portal on their website!  You can exchange your EXPOs on the Exploria Marketplace and also on RCI for all kinds of travel products like flights, car rental, concert, event and attraction tickets, excursions, vacation packages, curated experiences and thousands of hotels and resorts all over the world!

As a Club Exploria member, you simply have to log into your owner portal and head over to the "Plan Your Vacation" section for every way you can use your EXPOs. You will also find step-by-step guides and videos to help you through the process!

The Exploria Marketplace is a private rewards program powered by V.O.I.C.E. points (which stands for Vacation Ownership Interval Compensation Exchange).  On the marketplace website you can easily use your EXPOs for cruises, rental cars, theme park tickets, guided tours, excursions, activities and more!

Each membership level within the Club Exploria program includes bonus V.O.I.C.E. points for owners.  Additional bonus V.O.I.C.E. points can be purchased and are given out year round during various promotions through Club Exploria and Exploria Resorts bookings. 

Club Exploria membership is a deeded timeshare product, sold in increments of weeks. Depending on the week you own, your ownership falls into one of the 5 Club Exploria seasons: Quiet, Value, Discover, High and Prime. The seasons vary based on the popularity of the resort during that time of year.  A more popular season adds value and means more EXPO points will be assigned to the owner.  It also means the resort you are making a reservation at will require more EXPOs to book during Prime season as opposed to Quiet season.

PRO TIMESHARE TIP:  get the most out of your EXPOs by using them in the "off seasons" like Quiet and Value. Your points will go farther during the slow times of year and you may even get multiple weeks of vacations out of your week of ownership!
