I hate to disagree but.
I am not a time-share owner so I don't know a lot about time shares.
I am a member of a timeshare/travel membership as described and questioned. I paid the 3k to join. I went to the afore mentioned site condodirect.com searching what they have available vs what I can get with my membership I found I have far more available to me than that site has. There is no comparison.
I have personally spoken with the owner of the company whose membership I own. He explained to me where these units come from and they are not left-overs. This company buys up lots of time at different locations worldwide. Naturally, because they are buying in bulk the rates are good. We have 5000 locations in over 55 countries to choose from worldwide. I believe there are 2 million units available at any given time. I could be incorrect here but if someone wants clarification, I can verify this.
I can book as much as 1 year in advance. I hardly call that left overs. I have also searched for locations two to four weeks out and found nothing available anywhere for a given location, but with my membership, I was able to find accommodations for just 298 for that week. The accommodations were top notch. The resort was 5 star.
Time-share owners are limited to the amount of time they can travel in a given year. I can use my membership an unlimited amount of times. I have no annual fees, no maint. fees, no black out dates, no insane up front cost like time-shares are notorious for. In addition, I can stay in the exact same locations for a fraction of the cost. I also get three vouchers a year to hand down to my family and friends.
It was a no brainer to me. Add in the ability to earn some commission by sharing this with my family and friends. I don’t see how one could not see the value.
