Membership information

You want greater flexibility in the length of time of your vacation. You want flexibility as to when and where to take your vacation. And you want the best value when planning your vacation. You get it all and more when you become a Shell Vacations Club member.

With the Features and Benefits of Shell Vacations Club, you'll enjoy spacious rooms, thousands of fantastic locations and incredible options, the pride of ownership and cost effective savings that make your vacation dreams come true.

How? Every night at every resort is given a specific point value. Members then use points as a form of currency. Using the Shell Vacations Club points system, you use your vacation time for as little or as long as you desire, at the time of your choosing, and in the resort location and accommodation size of your choice. It's your perfect vacation.

Features & Benefits

Shell Vacations Club is designed to meet your vacation needs no matter how they expand and evolve in years to come. With a growing network of resorts in great destinations plus extra vacation opportunities at thousands of resorts around the world, members can have the perfect vacation when and where and how they want it.

When you consider the following features and benefits, you'll see that Shell Vacations Club makes sense for you.

Flexibility and Convenience

Vacation dreams and needs change with the passing of time. This year, theme parks may be the perfect venue. Next year, it could be outdoor adventures. Or perhaps, lying on the beach all day is your idea of paradise, but next time you'll want to golf until the sun goes down. Traditional timeshare requires you to buy a specific property and options are limited.

The Most Desirable Destinations

Outstanding resorts in Hawaii, California, Arizona, Oregon, Nevada, Wisconsin, Canada and Mexico. And, in addition to the 19 incredible SVC Resorts, vacation opportunities include:

Not only can you use your SVC Points for stays at any of the Shell Vacations Club Resorts, you may also use them for other exciting leisure experiences available through SVC Collections and SVC Rewards.

Luxurious Accommodations

Relax in spacious, luxuriously appointed accommodations, which provide a home-away-from-home with all of the comforts and amenities you need to relax, take care of the family or entertain friends.

Tomorrow's Vacation at Today's Costs

Save money now and on future vacations. Hotel room costs rise every year, yours do not. Club membership offers lasting memories, enduring quality and fixed affordable costs.

Quality Time with the People you Love

Benefit from convenient and hassle-free planning. Less time planning means more time enjoying friends and family, with a stress-free and comfortable vacation lifestyle.

Owner Conversion to Club Membership

What’s the most flexible, user-friendly product you can think of?  If you answered Shell Vacations Club, you're absolutely correct. Because SVC covers all your leisure needs in one place. And now is the perfect time to convert your traditional timeshare ownership to the benefits and options of the Shell Vacations Club membership.

Shell Vacations Club was created to change with the needs of timeshare owners. A fixed unit of the same size, at the same time and same location once satisfied the needs of a growing family. But now, with smaller families and shorter vacations, it has become increasingly difficult for some people to use those traditional weeks.

Flexibility is now king. Many owners want to break up their week into shorter segments. They want to exchange for cruises. And they want other benefits, like airfare, car rental, dining opportunities and recreation possibilities.

Shell Vacations Club meets every one of those needs...and more. The SVC reservations system allows lots of "Anys," as in Any size unit, Any season, Any SVC Resort, Any arrival day, and Any length of time. There's external exchange with RCI, RCI Points and Interval International, and the many options of SVC Collections and SVC Rewards benefits programs. These programs open up a wide variety of additional possibilities for vacations and getaways. SVC members can even use American Express Travel®, one of the largest travel agencies in the world.

Membership revolves around Points, the currency of the club, which is based on your existing timeshare ownerships. Points are very valuable, because they can be used for virtually anything in the travel business. Head out on an African safari, go whitewater rafting or take a cruise, and much, much more.

Converting to SVC membership is quick, easy and now is the best time. When you convert your traditional timeshare to membership in Shell Vacations Club, you get a long list of benefits and travel options.

Shell Vacations Club is the most versatile vacation club ever conceived. Come join the fun and freedom of Shell Vacations Club today.
