How to Get Rid of Holiday Club Points: A Step-by-Step Guide to Free Yourself

Hey there, holiday lovers! It’s your go-to public holiday assistant, Holiday Little Helper, back with another important topic. Today, we’re tackling a question that’s been bugging a lot of travelers: how to get rid of holiday club points. If you’re stuck with unwanted timeshare points or a vacation club membership you no longer use, don’t worry—I’ve got your back. Let’s break down everything you need to know to ditch those points for good.
Why Do People Want to Get Rid of Holiday Club Points?
Holiday club points might sound awesome at first—discounted vacations, luxury resorts, and flexible travel options. But over time, many owners realize the hidden downsides: sky-high maintenance fees, limited availability, and difficulty booking desirable locations. Plus, if your travel plans change or you simply don’t use them enough, those points can turn into an expensive burden. Some folks even inherit points they never wanted! So if you’re looking to escape the cycle, you’re not alone.
How to Legally Cancel or Sell Your Holiday Club Points
The good news? You can get rid of holiday club points—you just need the right strategy. Here are your best options:
1. Check Your Contract’s Exit Clause – Some vacation clubs have a built-in cancellation policy, though they rarely make it easy. Look for terms like “rescission period” (a short window after signing where you can back out) or buyback programs.
2. Sell Your Points (If Possible) – If your holiday club allows transfers, you might sell your points to another member. Websites like RedWeek or TUG Marketplace can help, but beware: resale prices are often much lower than what you paid.
3. Hire a Timeshare Exit Company – If you’re stuck in a predatory contract, companies like Wesley Financial Group or Timeshare Exit Team specialize in canceling timeshares legally. Just do your research—some are scams!
4. Default (Last Resort) – Simply stopping payments can hurt your credit, but some owners choose this if they’re overwhelmed. Consult a financial advisor before going this route.
Watch Out for Scams!
Sadly, the timeshare exit industry has its share of fraudsters. If a company demands huge upfront fees or promises a “guaranteed” exit without reviewing your contract, run the other way. Always check reviews and verify credentials with the Better Business Bureau (BBB).
Final Thoughts: Is It Worth Keeping Your Points?
Before pulling the trigger, ask yourself: Could you use these points differently? Some owners rent them out or gift vacations to family. But if you’re drowning in fees and stress, breaking free might be the best holiday gift you give yourself.
