Marriott Vacation Club is enhancing the arrival experience for its owners and guests by introducing a new Mobile Check-In feature. This new service, which is currently being rolled out to all Marriott Vacation Club resorts, is integrated directly into the Marriott Vacation Club app.
It allows you to complete the necessary check-in procedures before you arrive at the resort, helping you get off to a more efficient start to your vacation. This article offers a detailed overview of how Mobile Check-In works and shows you each step in completing a mobile check-in in the MVC app. Let’s take a closer look at this new feature.
How Mobile Check-In Works
The new Mobile Check-In feature is integrated directly into the Marriott Vacation Club mobile app. Owners can now complete a significant portion of the check-in process directly from their smartphones before arriving at the resort. This helps reduce paperwork and potential wait times upon arrival, allowing you to spend less time at the front desk and more time enjoying the resort’s amenities.
The app is available for download on both the Apple App Store for iPhones and the Google Play Store for Android devices, making it accessible to all Marriott owners. If you’ve previously downloaded the app, be sure to update it to get all the latest features.
Key Features & Timing
To use the Mobile Check-In feature effectively, it is helpful to understand its timing and specific functions. The service is available within a designated window before your scheduled stay.
The Mobile Check-In window opens 72 hours prior to 11:59 p.m. local resort time on the day before your check-in day. This provides a multi-day period for you to complete the required steps at your convenience before you travel. To ensure you don’t miss this window, you can enable notifications within the Marriott Vacation Club app, which will send a reminder when it is time to check in.
A Few Simple Steps to a Faster Arrival
Using the Mobile Check-In feature involves a few straightforward steps within the MVC app. Once you receive the notification or enter the check-in window, the process is easy to navigate.
Open the App and Find Your Reservation
First, launch the Marriott Vacation Club app and locate your upcoming reservation. You will see an option to begin the check-in process.

Complete and Submit

Once these steps are completed, your check-in is processed in advance. When you arrive at the resort, you can go to the front desk to pick up your keys and welcome packet, which should be a much quicker process, allowing you to head to your villa and start your vacation.
