How to sell timeshare points
Timeshare points are sold together with the contract, deed or share behind them: you sell the whole contract, or part of it where the programme allows, and the buyer takes over the points and the annual fees. What changes from brand to brand is whether a contract can be split, which developer benefits stay behind and what the resort charges for the transfer. Exchange points such as RCI Points cannot be sold on their own at all.

What you are actually selling
Most developer points are a way of using a real estate interest or a club contract: Club Wyndham points sit on a deeded or trust contract, Disney Vacation Club points on a deeded interest at a home resort, and WorldMark credits in a club account. Hapimag points come with a share in the company. The buyer takes over the contract and, with it, the annual maintenance fees or charges.
Exchange points are different. RCI Points are an exchange membership linked to your timeshare, and RCI's terms make a points transfer invalid, with the points forfeited, if any compensation changes hands. To sell, you sell the timeshare itself.
Can you sell only part of your points?
It depends on the programme. WorldMark's own ownership change forms allow an account to be split with a new owner, and owners report that a Marriott Destinations points contract is made up of separate beneficial interests, so part of it can be sold (2025 report). Disney says a contract is an undividable deeded interest, owners report that one Club Wyndham contract cannot be split (2022 report), and Diamond's European Collection sells and relinquishes points only by whole certificate.
Owners with several separate contracts, for example at Disney or Club Wyndham, can sell each contract on its own.
Points already in your account
At a Disney Vacation Club resale closing, banked, borrowed and Holding Account points move to the buyer with the same status, while Reservation Points cannot be transferred and expire. With Club Wyndham, owners report that points deposited for later years have not reached buyers and that some current-year points were lost in transfers in the second half of the year (2023 reports), so do not promise points that the resort has not confirmed in writing.
Hapimag points expiring in the current year can be used for arrivals up to 30 June, transferred to family and friends, or sold on the Points Platform until the day before they expire.
When points turn back into weeks
Some points ownerships change shape on resale. Owners report that Holiday Inn Club Vacations points revert to a fixed deeded week except at a few resorts, and a Marriott resale broker warns that a legacy week converted into Destinations points reverts to the original week when it is sold.
In Europe the conversion can work in the seller's favour: Diamond's European Collection lets a points member convert points into weeks of equivalent value free of charge, so that the weeks can be sold through any resale company.
Points programmes with an end date
Check how long your points last before you set a price. Diamond's European Collection membership ends on 31 December 2054, Club La Costa's fractional ownership is due to end by 31 December 2040, and WorldMark's Club Guidelines describe Standard credits as lasting 40 years while Premier credits are perpetual.

How a points sale works, step by step
Find your contract and points statement
Note the annual points, the use year, banked or borrowed points, the maintenance fee and any loan on the contract.
Check your programme's rules
Open your brand's seller's guide for the transfer fee, the right of first refusal and what a resale buyer receives.
Decide what the sale includes
State whether current-year and banked points go to the buyer, and whether you are selling the whole contract or part of it where that is allowed.
Advertise the points
Publish a listing with the programme, home resort, points, use year, fees and asking price. On BidMyTimeshare.com buyers contact you directly, and you decide which offer to accept.
Agree the sale in writing
Put the price, the points included, who pays the resort's transfer fee and closing costs, and the timetable in a signed sales contract.
Transfer through the resort
Complete the transfer through the resort or club, a closing company where one is used, and any right-of-first-refusal review, and keep paying fees until the resort confirms the change.
Avoid points and leisure credit scams
The US Federal Trade Commission warns that resale scammers guarantee an easy sale or say they already have a buyer, then ask the owner to pay thousands of dollars upfront (September 2025). The UK police fraud reporting service warns of bogus 'leisure credits': points, credits or vouchers for holidays that do not exist, sometimes bundled with a supposed timeshare disposal service.
- Hapimag warned in August 2025 that scammers offer Hapimag points on classified ad sites using the identities of real members; buy and sell Hapimag points only on its official Points Platform.
- Never pay for 'leisure credits' or points offered as part of getting rid of your timeshare.
- Before you pay or sign anything, search the company's name together with the words 'scam' or 'complaint' and get every promise and fee in writing, as the FTC advises.
- On BidMyTimeshare.com you pay a one-time fee to publish your advertisement. We do not deal with buyers for you, take part in the sale or promise that your points will sell.

Frequently asked questions
Can I sell timeshare points on their own?
Usually not. Developer points are sold with the contract behind them, and RCI Points cannot be sold at all. Hapimag is the exception among the brands in our guides: its members can sell residence points separately on Hapimag's official Points Platform.
Do banked points go to the buyer?
It depends on the programme. Disney moves banked, borrowed and Holding Account points to the buyer with the same status, while owners report that Club Wyndham points deposited for later years have not reached buyers.
Can I sell half of my points?
WorldMark accounts can be split, and owners report that Marriott Destinations contracts can be partly sold. Disney contracts, single Club Wyndham contracts and Diamond European certificates cannot be split.
Will the buyer keep my VIP or elite status?
Generally not. Wyndham VIP benefits, HGV Max and elevated Hilton Honors status, Marriott's Reserve and Pinnacle tier credit and RCI Platinum stay behind when points are sold.
What does a points transfer cost?
Resort fees vary widely: for example $399 at Club Wyndham, $500 for Disney resale contracts from 2026, and, according to a broker, $750 per 250 points with a $3,000 minimum for Marriott points. The table above lists each programme.
Can I let someone else use my points instead of selling?
Some programmes allow it without payment. WorldMark owners can assign credits to another owner as a one-time use transfer, and RCI Points members in North America can give points to another member for the current use year, but never for compensation.
