Be in the Heart of It All with Marriott Vacation Club Pulse

Get ready for unforgettable city getaways! Many Members have expressed an interest in having more opportunities to explore new places and try new experiences in central city locations. Marriott Vacation Club Pulse, a new brand extension of the Marriott Vacation Club brand, is designed to fulfill this growing desire and further expand your choices and flexibility.

There's a difference between visiting a place and truly experiencing it — between seeing its sites and discovering its secrets — between walking a city's streets and feeling its pulse. This is the difference that Marriott Vacation Club Pulse proudly offers, letting you immerse yourself in the heart of vibrant cities.

Marriott Vacation Club Pulse includes new and favorite Marriott Vacation Club® properties chosen for their prime city locations in the heart of the action:

  • Marriott Vacation Club Pulse at Custom House, Boston
  • Marriott Vacation Club Pulse, New York City
  • Marriott Vacation Club Pulse, San Diego
  • Marriott Vacation Club Pulse at The Mayflower, Washington, D.C.
  • Marriott Vacation Club Pulse, South Beach
Members of Marriott Vacation Club, Asia-Pacific can enjoy access to these properties by exchanging through Interval International®.* Rather than the villas typical of Marriott Vacation Club properties in popular resort destinations, these Marriott Vacation Club Pulse properties feature distinctive guestrooms and suites that embrace the spirit and culture of the surrounding city — delivering an authentic sense of place while providing easy access to local interests, attractions and transportation.

For an unforgettable getaway in the heart of it all, let curiosity be your guide, discovery be your agenda and Marriott Vacation Club Pulse be your host.

Ask the Expert: Express Breaks

This month, Nozomi shares how you can use your Club Points to enjoy an Express Breaks getaway at a Club Resort Property.

What is Express Breaks?
Express Breaks is paid stays at Club Resorts Properties starting from US$50 that you can enjoy without using Club Points. Club Resort Properties include Marriott's Phuket Beach Club, Marriott's Ko Olina Beach Club, Marriott's Grand Chateau®, Marriott's Waiohai Beach Club, Marriott's Mai Khao Beach – Phuket, and Marriott Vacation Club® at The Empire Place©.

Express Breaks is a great way to supplement your membership if you've already used your Club Points but desire an additional holiday, or if you're seeking a last-minute getaway. You can also use Express Breaks to extend a Club Points reservation or purchase an Express Breaks for a friend or guest.

How does Express Breaks work?
To make an Express Breaks reservation, you must keep in mind the following:

  • Reservations must be made 14 days or fewer before check-in (7 days for an unaccompanied guest).
  • Reservations must be for 1 – 3 nights and are based on availability.
  • The Express Breaks fee is set at the current maintenance fee rate per point multiplied by the number of Club Points required for each night.

Can you give me an example?
Sure! Let's say you'd like to reserve an Express Breaks stay at Marriott's Mai Khao Beach – Phuket that requires 1,050 Club Points. The Express Breaks fee would be the number of Club Points required multiplied by the maintenance fee rate per point:

230 + 410 + 410 = 1,050 (Club Points total)
Express Breaks fee = 1,050 x US$0.3515 (2016 maintenance fee) = US$369.08

To make an Express Breaks reservation or check availability, contact Member Services.

Member Tips

Europe's Christmas Markets

Are you embarking on the Classic Christmas Markets guided group tour — or considering exploring Europe's alpine cities on your own? Here are a few tips for making the most of your holiday:

  • Do research ahead of time to figure out which markets are must-sees for you, and which ones you don't mind missing.
  • Bring your walking shoes and warm layers, so you can stay comfortable while you're perusing the markets and exploring historic, pedestrian-friendly towns.
  • Don't forget to bring a European plug adapter for your electronics, and a converter if necessary.
  • While some market vendors take credit cards, it's more convenient to have some cash with you.
  • Book your flights well in advance, and if you're planning your trip around the Christmas markets, keep in mind that they normally take place in the month leading up to the holiday.
  • At the German markets, order a hot drink in a specially designed mug. You can return the mug to get back a ℠all deposit of a few euros, or keep it for a great souvenir.
