I just got off the phone with a rep from the above mentioned company. They want to make me some money, by renting my points out and also renting out any exchanges.
All this for the MEASLY UPFRONT FEES of $1055.00 or around that number. Isn't this a great opportunity?
Anyone get this great phone call?
I tried to search the company on here, but the search thingy was a bit messed up.

OK

I figured as much Denise. I was born at night, but not last night.
I just wanted to post it as a heads up more than anything. If I got called, I'm sure there will be more coming.

I knew you were kidding and that's why "no" was sufficient. ;)

But in case you are a newbie - Arnie does NOT really think this is a great opportunity.

This is the disclosure from their website:

DISCLOSURE: TimeshareInsurance(TI) is a ‘for rent by owner’ online classified cooperative advertising service, connecting timeshare owners with timeshare renters. This advertising service is as that of a classified section in a newspaper. The TI non-refundable listing fee varies depending on the services that you choose, and this fee is payable at the time the advertisement is purchased. TI does not guarantee that any timeshare period can be rented at any specific time or price. Your rental listing is only good for six (6) months from the time you sign up for our services. TI will forward via email any information of prospective renters to the customer. TI will not provide any personal information to a third party. TI will post my first initial and last name on my advertisement page ..

No surprise here but their website was just created February 2011. Looking at some of the rental and sale prices, it certainly looks like they could care less if anything sold or rented since they get their money upfront. Correction, they DON'T want it to sell because then they have a chance to get someone to pay ANOTHER fee to continue to list it. One example that says it all - a week 9 STUDIO for sale at Orange Lake CC for $15,000.
