Timeshares Lose Popularity As the Travel Club Membership Secrets Are Finally Discovered.
March 2nd, 2010 by Wayne Hinrichs
For many decades the Timeshare option has been a very popular one for a fairly large number of travelers. Traditionally the owner invests on average $16,000 or more for the right to spend at least one week per year at that Timeshare property. Annual fees are added in the range of $300 to $900 for maintenence. The Timeshare week can be exchanged for a week at another property, but it can be difficult and rather expensive to accomplish this.
So just exactly why are Travel Club Memberships in such high demand these days and why has the popularity of Timeshares been decreasing at such an alarming rate? The following should help to answer this:
1. Initially, the capital investment requirement is much lower when buying a Travel Club Membership. This investment amount can be at least five to six times less that that needed to buy a Timeshare. And when you factor the current economic slowdown into the equation, it makes much more economic sense.
2. In addition, you will never get stuck paying those dreaded maintenence fees ever again. Many Timeshare owners fail to realize that if they don’t pay their annual upkeep fees, they can have their Timeshare foreclosed on. With the Travel Club Membership you pay only when you use your membership. That fee can be as low as $298 for the entire family’s 8 day, 7 night stay. You will never have to sit through those silly Timeshare presentations or pay those expensive taxes and check-in fees either.
3. Like we discussed previously. When you own a Timeshare you will have to exchange your week for another if you wish to vacation at a resort other than the one you own. You can do this by contacting a company like RCI. RCI will allow you to exchange your Timeshare week with another that’s in their registry. This can use up alot of your time and also can cost up to several hundred dollars. Alternatively, you can post your ad on several places online like Craigslist or Backpage. Hopefully you’ll find someone that wants what you have and vice versa. . Now, when you own a Travel Club Membership you most certainally will have 10’s, 100’s, or even 1,000’s of elite properties from which to choose. And you will have accessibility to some of the most sought-after vacation destinations worldwide.
