Your points are ready, you have a destination in mind, now it’s time to make your dream escape a reality. Proper planning makes all the difference when it comes to experiencing trips filled with your first choices. Follow these tips from your Club Education team to learn ways to maximize your timing, flexibility, waitlist benefit, and hands-on assistance when booking.

Your vacations are important, so make them a priority. Find out your booking windows and set up your reservations in advance for the best chance at experiencing destinations and activities you love. Be sure to also check your calendar to stay aware of important dates or events – like birthdays, holidays, and anniversaries – that may impact your planning decisions.

Can’t find availability for your desired destination? Submit a waitlist request and your club will do the searching for you 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Once availability opens that matches what you’re looking for, you’ll be notified to secure your stay. Waitlist requests can be submitted from 10 months to 14 days prior to check-in – plus, you can even have more than one waitlist.

Your points were made to be flexible, so keep an open mind when planning your vacation. Take some time to browse last-minute deals that can help you save money and points. You can also use the Region Search tool on your owner website to search an area of the map for resorts you may not be aware of in the place you want to visit. 

If you’d like extra support with booking a stay or other ownership needs, you can join an owner education webinar to get hands-on help. These live sessions are the perfect opportunity to learn best practices for planning vacations and get in-person assistance with using your club’s website, understanding your ownership, and booking a reservation.
