Qualified Referral Sale:

If a qualified referral, submitted and pre-booked in the Owner Referral department, meets the qualifications of this program and purchases a timeshare interest during their initial sales presentation, you may be eligible to receive compensation. Florida law limits referral payments to 20 timeshare sales per calendar year. There is no reward eligibility for a referral that enters into a Vacation Occupancy Agreement (rental program). Referrals are not qualified under this program if they already own a Vacation Occupancy Agreement and tour and purchase timeshare. Subsequent purchases from qualified referrals do not entitle the referrer to additional rewards. If a referral has already toured or already purchased before the owner referred them, then there will be no aware for that referral.

Owner Rewards Payment:

If eligible, all reward payments can be applied toward maintenance & tax credits. If not, the eligible $100 will be automatically loaded as a maintenance & tax credit and the remaining can be electronically loaded to a designated PayPal account or Virtual Mastercard when not prohibited by state or country restrictions or virtual Mastercard.
