Owner Referral Reward Program / Travel Partner Program:

As a Westgate Resorts Owner or Westgate Resorts Travel Partner, you may be eligible to receive benefits for qualified referrals who are pre booked through Owner Referral and subsequently purchase a timeshare during a sales presentation at a Westgate Resorts property. Eligibility for rewards requires that both the owner’s account(s) and the referral’s account(s) remain in good standing, with no past due mortgage, maintenance, or tax payments. Any independent advertising or promotional efforts intended to generate qualified referrals are strictly prohibited.

Qualified Referral:

This Offer is available to U.S. citizens who are married, engaged, cohabiting, or single females (not separated) who are gainfully employed and have a verified annual household income of at least $50,000 (or $60,000 for Las Vegas) and a FICO score of 600 or higher. Engaged participants must qualify under the single female criteria, and both partners must attend the tour together. “Income” refers to annual gross income before taxes and does not include earnings from unemployment, workers’ compensation, temporary disability, timeshare real estate commissions, shares, stocks, bonds, or annuities. Home based daycare or salon businesses are not qualified for Las Vegas, Myrtle Beach, or Gatlinburg. For qualified couples, one partner must be between 25 and 70 years old, and the other must be at least 25 with no upper age limit. Single females must be between 28 and 70 years old. Single females must attend the 90-minute discovery tour and sales presentation, and couples must attend the 90-minute discovery tour and sales presentation together following breakfast at Westgate Resorts. Engaged couples must attend the presentation together. All tour participants must present a valid driver’s license or state issued ID. At check in, guests must have a valid credit card in their own name to cover the resort security deposit and taxes; prepaid or reloadable cards are not accepted. Guests traveling to Branson, Cocoa Beach, Gatlinburg, and Orlando must speak and understand English or Spanish fluently (English only in Branson and Williamsburg). Subject to certain qualifications, this Offer is available only to United States citizens and to individuals in jurisdictions where the Offer is properly registered.

This Offer is not available to past or current Westgate employees and their immediate family members (including stepparents and stepchildren); children or parents of Westgate owners if the owner is on property; Westgate timeshare owners; Westgate Vacation Ownership (“VOA”) owners; or boyfriends or girlfriends of Westgate owners unless traveling with the owner. It is also not available to individuals employed in the timeshare industry, including timeshare realtors; persons who have toured any Westgate Resort within the past six months; those who have participated in a Westgate discounted promotional offer requiring a tour more than three times in their lifetime; individuals previously deemed unqualified under Westgate’s qualification standards; or guests scheduled for any other Westgate tour during their stay. Additional restrictions apply to persons residing within 60 miles of the resort; group travel parties consisting of three or more couples or singles traveling on separate packages; individuals who received the vacation package as a gift from a third party; and anyone attending or participating in events such as sporting events, conventions, family reunions, weddings, bachelor or bachelorette parties, or birthday celebrations. This Offer is also unavailable to persons consuming or under the influence of alcohol or controlled substances, individuals exhibiting socially unacceptable behavior (including but not limited to screaming, profanity, inappropriate advances, or verbal or physical threats). Failure to qualify for, attend, and complete the required sales presentation will result in a surcharge of up to $500.00 or the rental rate (whichever is greater), plus the retail cost of any discounted attraction tickets included in the package. Current Westgate owners may qualify for certain promotions if they meet all applicable criteria, and their account is in good standing. Minimum requirements may vary by destination and travel season.

Participants in cruise events must comply with all current cruise line terms and conditions. A valid passport is required for all cruise travel, subject to the cruise line’s policies.

Qualified Referral Sale:

If a qualified referral is submitted and pre booked through the Owner Referral Department, meets all program requirements, and purchases a timeshare interest during their initial sales presentation, you may be eligible to receive compensation. Under Florida law, referral payments are limited to 20 timeshare sales per calendar year. No reward is available for referrals who enter into a Vacation Occupancy Agreement (rental program). Referrals who already hold a Vacation Occupancy Agreement and later tour and purchase a timeshare are not considered qualified under this program. Additional purchases made by previously qualified referrals do not entitle the referrer to further rewards. If a referral has toured or purchased prior to being referred by an owner, no reward will be issued for that referral.
