I was wondering if signing up for this benefit is worthwhile. It appears that some timeshares are offering this as an option for doing an upgrade. After paying an enrollment fee, you deposit a week that you don't wish to use, and they in turn will rent it out. You then receive double the maintenance fee. However, the timeshare specifies in the contract that they have nothing to do with PTC and will not be held liable if it doesn't work out although you are required to pay a membership fee upfront (this fee is separate from the enrollment fee paid to PTC). It seems that many people are signing up for this.

I personally liked the totally (IMHO) Bull Crap line of "receive double the MFs" ... I have very high demand South Florida snowbird weeks and I sometimes rent them out. I have never received "clear" a double the MFs check.

And you are saying this company's step-child (and not responsible for step-child's actions or performance) will send you a check for double the MFs after ALL their rental costs and fees??? ....:hysterical:

(In plain English ... ain't happening!).
