Vacation Club Resale Questions

What’s the difference between a “vacation club” and a “travel club”?

A travel club is a membership to receive discounted travel deals. Typically, these clubs require a yearly fee to receive discounts on hotel stays, restaurants, shopping, and more. Some travel clubs may ask you to sign a contract, but they usually only last a year.

A vacation club is a form of vacation ownership, also known as a timeshare. However, vacation clubs provide more flexibility than traditional timeshares. With a vacation club, you own a points-based membership rather than a traditional one-week usage. With your yearly points allotment, you can choose where and when you travel.

The main difference between travel clubs and vacation clubs is that a vacation club is a perpetual agreement. You’ve purchased a life-long contract—sometimes even a deeded ownership. In order to get rid of it, you need to resell your vacation club membership.

Do I need to sell my vacation club through the developer?

No. Most vacation clubs or point memberships do not need to be resold through the resort or developer. In fact, most developers do not have a resale program. Most owners choose to sell vacation clubs online through sites like SellVacationClub.com. By selling online, you’ll receive optimal exposure. In some cases, you may even receive an instant offer, allowing you to sell without the hassle of posting an advertisement.

Are vacation club resales similar to timeshare resales?

Many vacation clubs are a form of timeshare. As timeshares have evolved, the traditional “one-week” programs have transformed into points-based memberships. Timeshare points and vacation clubs offer more flexibility than the traditional one-week reservation.

Vacation clubs and timeshare points resell in the same way. You can sell your vacation club on the secondary market the same way as a timeshare resale.

Do I need to sell my vacation club points all at once?

If you own a large points package, you may be able to sell a portion of your points and keep the remainder. This depends upon your contract, but with most vacation clubs, you will have this option. However, the vacation club may require that you sell the minimum points required for membership. For example, if you own 200,000 points and 50,000 points are required for membership, you must resell at least 50,000 points.

Can I sell if I still owe a mortgage?

If you still owe a mortgage on your vacation club, selling your membership has never been more crucial. Before you pay off your mortgage, contact SellVacationClub.com to learn your options.

Do I have to notify my resort?

No. During the closing process, the title company will notify your resort of the transfer of ownership.

What is the Right of First Refusal (ROFR)?

Most vacation club contracts include a clause known as the “Right of First Refusal”. This clause states that when an offer is made on your ownership, the resort has the right to purchase the ownership back for the same price. While it is rare that the resort will make an offer, the clause must be satisfied in order to transfer ownership.
