What is the difference between purchasing a Marriott timeshare resale versus retail?
If you purchased a resale after June 20, 2010 at any Marriott Vacation Club property, including the Marriott Maui Ocean Club, you have the same booking privileges as if you bought it from the Developer. All exchanges are done through Interval International, you don’t have the option to participate in the Marriott Destination Club Points Program, nor do you have the right to convert into the Marriott Reward Points.
Marriott Destination Club Points owners who purchase resale or retail can use their points at their Home Resort or any other Marriott vacation club resort, or make exchanges through Interval International or convert into Marriott Reward Points for hotel stays at Marriott locations worldwide, cruises, car rentals and discounts. A resale Marriott Destination Club points owner receives exactly the same benefits as an owner who purchased directly from the developer.
