Now that Marriott’s new Abound program has launched, Vistana timeshare owners have the option of electing to receive Abound Club Points that can be used to book vacations at the many Marriott Vacation Club resorts across the globe. In order to take advantage of this opportunity, Vistana Owners must first be eligible to be a part of the Abound program, and will then need to elect to receive Club Points, on a year-to-year basis, in exchange for using their Vistana vacation ownership interest to travel to the Vistana Signature Network of resorts.
In this article, we will explore which Vistana owners are eligible to join the Abound program, and we will show you exactly how to elect to receive Abound Club Points. Let’s get started!
Who Is Eligible To Join The Abound Progam?
Vistana owners who became members of the Vistana Signature Network (VSN) prior to August 9th, 2022 will be eligible to use the Abound exchange program. Vistana owners will automatically be opted-in to the Abound program, if they are eligible.
