Marriott Vacation Club
GREAT FOR: Vacation clubbers who want deluxe accommodations at reasonable rates.
GOOD FOR: Families with resources and Marriott brand-loyal cus
NOT FOR: Vacation clubbers at the top and bottom of the vacation budget range.
Marriott is perhaps the foremost pioneer in the timeshare industry, and they deserve a lot of credit for a lot of the innovations in the vacation club membership industry. Marriott Vacation Club ("MVC") owners are very brand-loyal, and are some of the most sophisticated timeshare owners in the market. Marriott Vacation Club Resorts have a reputation for being high quality with a high-level of service.
Marriott began by selling traditional deeded weeks at its U.S. resorts, and then rolled out its MVC Destinations points program in 2010. Owners of deeded weeks own either a fixed week (e.g., Week 28) or a floating week during a particular season (e.g., "Gold" or "Platinum" seasons). Owners of fixed weeks at Timber Lodge, Newport Coast Villas, and Shadow Ridge can trade their fixed weeks for floating weeks.
The MVC Destinations points program allows its owners to select from over 50 beautiful resorts in the Marriott Vacation Club Collection, including several resorts here in California, including Newport Coast Villas [Newport Coast], Desert Spring Villas I & II and Shadow Ridge [Palm Desert], Timber Lodge and Grand Residences [Lake Tahoe].
As with other points programs, it is critical for MVC Destinations points owners to understand the reservation system. There are three tiers of reservation priority, depending on the amount of Destinations points that are owned. For Standard owners (up to 6,499 points), reservations for a stay of at least 7 days can be made up to 12 months in advance, and stays for less than 7 days can be made up to 10 months in advance. For Premier owners (6,500 - 12,999 points), reservations for a stay of at least 7 days can be made up to 12 months in advance, and stays for less than 7 days can be made up to 10 months in advance. For Premier Plus owners (13,000+ points), reservations can be made up to 13 months in advance, with no minimum stay requirement.
For 2015, maintenance fees for MVC Destinations members are $.475/point + club dues of $175 (Standard) or $215 (Premier/Premier Plus).
MVC exchanges through Interval, and Marriott owners get priority at other Marriott resorts over non-MVC owners, which increases the chances of MVC owners successfully exchanging into other MVC Resorts.
