We Shaped the Future of Timeshare 20 Years Ago — And We’re Still Redefining It Today

How Vacancy Rewards Helped Timeshare Brands Move Beyond a Single Destination

Twenty years ago, the timeshare industry faced a turning point.

Owners loved the idea of vacation ownership — but their travel habits were changing. Travelers wanted flexibility. They wanted more than just one location. They wanted options.

That’s when Vacancy Rewards was born.

More than a travel platform, we became a partner in reimagining what timeshare could look like: not limited by geography — but powered by possibility.

The Problem We Saw (And Solved) First

In the early 2000s, timeshare operators were seeing a growing challenge:

→ “What happens when owners love your brand… but want to travel somewhere else?”

Back then, most programs were tied to a single resort, a single city, or a small exchange network. If a member couldn’t book in that location, frustration — and churn — followed.

We believed there was a better way.

The Big Idea: Giving Timeshare Owners Global Travel Access

Vacancy Rewards pioneered a simple but game-changing solution:

→ What if timeshare ownership didn’t mean owning one week in one place…
→ But instead unlocked travel benefits around the world?

That vision became our mission: to empower timeshare operators to offer their owners:

🏨
Hotel & resort stays worldwide

🗺️
Custom travel experiences beyond their home property

💸
Year-round access to vacation deals

✈️
The ability to travel how they want — without limits

 

Fast Forward to Today: The Future We Saw Became The Industry Standard

Today’s travelers expect flexibility. They expect perks. They expect options.

We didn’t just predict that future — we helped create it.

Vacancy Rewards now powers travel solutions for leading vacation ownership brands across the US, Mexico, and Latin America. We help them:

→ Increase retention
→ Expand loyalty programs
→ Boost customer satisfaction
→ Turn a “sold out” into “where else do you want to go?”
