I have created a set of criteria that help me have successful vacation. I have categorized them into three groups... Freedom, Responsibility, and timeshares. By freedom, I mean that you have the ability to plan for a flexible vacation, but you still have to define what that means.... How long...

The three main cost drivers for timeshares owners is Maintenance fees, Travel to/From Timeshares, and food. In this video, I discuss how I leverage Costco to keep food costs low. By managing food costs, I can have money for additional vacations. I use Costco for the basic food costs. The...

There is no right or wrong choice between an RV or a timeshare. My travel style is just better suited for Timeshares than RV's. In this Video, I try to describe what it is about my travel style that makes timeshares better for me. My goal is to help you decide what is right for you based on...

One of the downsides of choosing timeshares over an RV was the flexibility to travel across the US and have plenty of places to stay. Well, I am in the process of doing my trip across the US staying in Timeshares. Although not nearly as many locations as an RV, I do finally have the option...

Looking to buy a timeshare from eBay. What should I buy? I am a snow bird from Canada so I mainly travel from January to March for two months. I am open to different locations and every other year to Florida as driving is cheaper than flying. What are Marriott and Hilton vacation club as...

I enjoyed the Club Wyndham Kauai Coast Resort at the Beachboy (formerly Shell). It is in the Small town of Kapaa on the eastern shore close to the airport. There is a lovely beach with trees near the ocean. You can't really swim there because of the currents, but it is still lovely to listen...

Hey guys looking to see if anyone has gone the non-resort route for like a timeshare-esque ownership arrangement for a nice apartment or condo in the center of town. Maybe Playa Del Carmen or Tulum? I'm very curious what your experience was like

Both Timeshares and Airbnb can provide great vacations. I have used both but have tended to focus more on Timeshares. For me, making a purchase of a timeshare was making a commitment to taking a vacation. I am very active in a lot of projects, so making a timeshare a project was my way of...

There are several questions one would ask about living in a timeshare for six months. 1) Why would anyone do this? 2) What are the economics? 3) What are the possibilities? 4) How can I do this? Why would anyone do this? Two weeks a year to vacation and see the world is not enough anymore...

In this video, I highlighted that AirBnb can be an excellent opportunity to expand your travel options. In my case, I rented a one bedroom in Phoenix during the peak period of January. If I rented timeshares for that same period, it would have cost me much more than the $1300+ I paid for the...

Hello all, I just returned from La Pacifica in Los Cabos and I have to tell you I was absolutely enchanted. I was seriously considering buying the timeshare on the spot when I learned that HGVC uses a points system in order to make reservations, but the upfront retail prices scared the crap out...

Hi new member here, so I recently rescinded but I’m still interested, one of the sales agent said with the 9k package I think it was 30k points he said I could get any hotel under their brand 5 days 4 nights even if it’s Hawaii during peak season, it sounds too good to be true and a load of crap...

So I sent a cancellation letter to Hilton within four days of signing. Cancellation was within the allotted 10 days and it says they have 20 days according to the contract to refund our money. I didn’t put too much in the letter other than me and my wife’s decision to cancel within the time...

Hello- I'm helping my (elderly) parents to try to sell (or give away) their timeshare. I'm tech savvy, and have sold my home in the past by owner, so they wanted me to try to help. Only thing is I'm new to timeshares, and trying to read up on how to do this on my own. They own a 2-bdrm at...
