How Do Timeshare Points Work?
Timeshare points are the currency members use to secure their desired vacation accommodations, much like traditional money functions in other contexts. Members receive an annual allocation of points within the exchange system upon joining a timeshare program.
Each resort might have different point requirements based on several factors. For example, a higher point commitment is required for high-demand locations or peak travel times than for less popular or off-season periods.
Types of Timeshare Points Systems
Different programs employ various types of point systems:
- Deeded Points: Offer ownership interests tied to particular resorts, providing long-term stability and potential resale opportunities
- Right-to-Use Points: Grant access without ownership rights, offering flexibility with less upfront commitment
Earning Timeshare Points
Participants initially gain points when they purchase timeshare memberships. The points are allocated based on the package selected, with more luxurious plans offering higher point values.
Members can also accrue bonus points through special promotions, attending informational sessions, participating in surveys, or utilizing partner services.
Using Timeshare Points
Members can allocate their timeshare points toward booking accommodations, upgrading experiences, or trading for other services. This flexibility allows them to tailor their vacations to unique tastes and preferences, ensuring memorable and bespoke getaways.
