Have buyers had issues with Marriott giving approval for MVC points transactions? What kind of fees are they charging for this transfer?
We are not aware of any issues with Marriott Vacation Club approving the resale of points. Marriott does indeed have a Right of First Refusal (ROFR) option on all sales on the secondary market of Marriott Vacation Club Destinations - this applies to both points and deeded week transactions. The Right of First Refusal price point could fluctuate based on Marriott's needs and market conditions, and would be difficult to predict.
The transfer fees are $200* $500 per MVC Beneficial Interest (which equates to 250 MVC points), with a $3,000 minimum. In addition, there is a $300 new member education fee and a $95 ROFR option research fee. Again, Marriott holds ROFR for all MVC point ownerships - so, unless they exercise their ROFR option, the $95 fee will be required for the transfer. If the buyer is already a MVC point owner, then the education fee is waived. Escrow and closing costs are based on whichever closing company is used, and their specific charges.
