About this site for Marriott Vacation Club owners
Ownertrades.com was put in place by a Marriott Vacation Club owner and has been in continuous operation since January 1, 2001. This updated
version was put in place Jan. 1, 2012.
The original and primary focus of the site is facilitating free exchanges
amongst Marriott owners; the ability for owners to list rentals and resales was
subsequently added at the request of owners. Destination Points resales was put in
place with the updated site.

annual payment for access to the exchange searches.

In order to search the exchange listings, or to list a unit for rent or resale,
you are required to become a site member by creating an account with this site.
Creating an account carries a small one-time fee of $2 (primarily to prevent
automated web-bots and non-owners from cluttering the account database with
meaningless accounts).
