Destination Exchange typically refers to a timeshare exchange company that allows owners of vacation timeshares to exchange their time at one resort for time at another resort within a network.

More specifically:

  • Destination Exchange, LLC is associated with Marriott Vacations Worldwide and acts as the exchange provider for the Abound by Marriott Vacations™ program.
  • Through this service, owners of certain Marriott-branded vacation ownership products can:
    • Exchange usage rights at their home resort for stays at other Marriott Vacation Club locations.
    • Access additional affiliated resorts, cruises, and travel experiences.

How it works:

  1. You purchase a timeshare or club membership with Marriott (or another affiliated brand).
  2. You receive points or a deeded week.
  3. Through Destination Exchange, you can trade your vacation time/points for:
    • Other resorts in the network
    • Cruises
    • Adventure travel packages
    • Hotel stays

Common comparisons:

  • Similar to RCI or Interval International, but Destination Exchange focuses on internal Marriott and affiliated-brand trades.
