Global Vacation Club - Directors
It is a great honor to be servicing so many families and taking care of their vacations. That’s what we set out to do when the club was launched onto the open market. Since then we have seen tremendous growth and continue to thrive. The vacation industry has changed dramatically over the last 30 years and our dream was to take things in a new direction. We have done that, which has brought forward more control over vacation ownership to the customer. A thing we felt was truly needed. Less restrictions and more importantly greater savings and choice.
GVCs Board of Directors have a wealth of experience in the hospitality and holiday ownership sector spanning a combined total of over 80 years. GVC has purposely been designed to cater for the 21st century discerning traveller, who commands quality accommodation as well as a wide variety of destinations and cultural experiences to cherish.
GVC is proud to be one of the world’s most diverse and unique holiday concepts where members and their loved ones can enjoy countless unique club features, such as our “2 Vacations 1 Voyage” plus an endless array of far reaching jewels to discover.
Welcome to our world, where the Voyage never ends.

Membership Introduction
Global Vacation Club How GVC Membership Works
Global Vacation Club is without doubt one of the better vacation clubs on the market. If you compare cost, service, flexibility and overall user benefits we stand out ahead of the crowd.
''We have enjoyed every vacation to date with our points and the service has been exceptional''. Mr. & Mrs. Jackson Birmingham
Global Vacation Club points are the most flexible, simple and sophisticated form of vacation currency available. No matter what kind of vacation you want to take each year, points allow you to customize every trip to suit your needs. No strings attached.
Managing points is no different to the way you manage your bank account. Once you make a deposit you can then make a withdrawal, points work in the same way. Each year you will receive a fresh allocation of points in accordance with the membership term you selected. Every time a member takes a holiday, those points will then be deducted from your annual allotment. The remaining balance will always be available for use at a later date.
All Global Vacation Points Club members pay a one-time purchase price determined by the level of membership needed and receive a set number of points per annum. The annual club membership fee is just $199.This allows members full access to every GVC vacation experience.
Each year brings a new allocation of points
A huge benefit of points-based vacations is that your points are renewed every year. We make it easy for you to plan vacations ahead of time, whether you want to visit a fairy tale castle, 5 star hotels, luxury villas or a romantic river cruise GVC make it happen.
Accumulate Points
Another tremendous advantage of membership is flexibility. Each year your annual allotment of vacation points renews and unused points can also roll over into the following year to increase your pool. This permits members to accrue extra points or use them when the time is right. Your points run for a duration of 2 years. One year longer than most other vacation clubs. So why not travel on a whim OR plan that BIG trip you’ve been dreaming about.
Borrow or save points
You also have the option of borrowing points from the following year. For example if you wish to invite family members which may require an extra 2 bedrooms, rather than paying the extra costs involved simply borrow them for next year’s allocation. Alternatively save your points and use them the following year if again for example you are planning something really special. (Please see chart below).
Rent, Add or Borrow More Points
When planning for that once in a lifetime vacation, or maybe you want to bring a large group with you on vacation, it’s never a problem. As a member of Global Vacation Club, when a member needs more points than their annual allotment, they have the option to borrow points from the following year's balance or to purchase extra. Global Vacation Club points are the most flexible, simple and sophisticated form of vacation currency available. No matter what kind of vacation you want to take each year, points allow you to customize every trip to suit your needs. No strings attached.
How do you purchase points?
Points can be purchased directly from Global Vacation Club or one of our licensed franchise partners located around the world. To start a member would simply buy the number of points that their vacation time demands. However as your vacation plans change there may be a time that you need to increase your point allocation. These can be purchased at any time.

Saving or borrowing your GVC points
Borrow or save points - You also have the option of borrowing points from the following year. For example if you wish to invite family members which may require an extra 2 bedrooms, rather than paying the extra costs involved simply borrow them for next year’s allocation.
Alternatively save your points and use them the following year if again for example you are planning something really special.
What can you do with GVC points?
Besides going on vacation with your points there are several other alternative benefits on offer. For example: there may be a year you cannot take a vacation or another year you want to save for something extremely special.
When GVC was in the planning stages we looked at every variable that may prevent a member from using points, and then looked at alternative options to ensure the member would not lose points but could actually help instead if needed.
Most of the GVC products permit members to use only points when making a booking, however there are some features where this may not always be possible. Mainly with our cruising options due to circumstances we cannot control and other rules as laid down by certain cruise operators.
How do we find GVC points values?
There are various ways to obtain point values as GVC have a sizeable collection of vacation options for members.
1. Published point/s Chart - The point's chart we have produced is merely a guide to an average point’s vacation. Please remember when you are booking a points exchange you are doing so in real time. This is the most efficient and effective way for us to help you get the most out of the points you hold.
2. Contact a GVC vacation planner and they will calculate and prepare everything for you. This is by far the most popular choice with members as we do all the work on your behalf and provide you with an abundance of options to choose from.
3. Live Chat Agent online. Alternatively you can call or visit a GVC Sales Centre and they will be happy to help.

Please note that failure to notify GVC Member Services will result in the forfeiture of any remaining points in your current use year should you cross the 3-month notification window.
