How Do Marriott Vacation Club Points Convert to Marriott Rewards?

By Michael Ferguson

If you’re a member of the Marriott Vacation Club, you may be wondering how your vacation club points can convert to Marriott Rewards points. The good news is that this conversion is relatively straightforward, and it can provide you with even more flexibility in how you use your vacation club membership.

Understanding Marriott Vacation Club Points

Before we dive into the conversion process, let’s take a quick look at how Marriott Vacation Club points work. Essentially, these points function as a kind of currency that you can use to book stays at Marriott Vacation Club resorts. The number of points required for a stay varies depending on factors like the size of the villa and the time of year.

Converting to Marriott Rewards Points

Now, let’s talk about how these vacation club points can be converted into Marriott Rewards points. The process is simple: for every one vacation club point that you have, you can convert it into one Marriott Rewards point.

Why Convert Your Points?

You might be wondering why someone would want to convert their vacation club points into rewards points. There are actually several reasons why this could be beneficial:

  • Flexibility: Converting your points allows you to use them for things other than just vacations at Marriott Vacation Club resorts. With rewards points, you could book stays at any participating Marriott hotel or even redeem them for things like airline miles.
  • Rewards Redemption: The redemption process for rewards points is often easier and more straightforward than using vacation club points.
  • Expiration: While both types of points have expiration dates, rewards points tend to last longer than vacation club points. So if you’re worried about losing your unused points, converting them could help extend their lifespan.

The Conversion Process

So now that we’ve covered why you might want to convert your points, let’s talk about how to actually do it. The process is relatively simple:

  1. Log in to your Marriott Vacation Club account.
  2. Click on the “Convert Points” link.
  3. Select the number of vacation club points you want to convert.
  4. Confirm that you want to make the conversion.

It’s important to note that once you’ve made the conversion, there’s no going back. So be sure that you’re ready to make the switch before clicking that confirmation button.

Conclusion

In conclusion, converting your Marriott Vacation Club points into Marriott Rewards points can be a great way to add flexibility and extend the lifespan of your points. With just a few clicks, you can make the switch and start exploring all of the exciting options available through Marriott Rewards.
