Here for another trip around the Sun and thankful for all of you who continue this decades long journey with us!
as an annual tradition, I see what AI will come up with to celebrate TUGs birthday, you can see last years summary here:
Here is this years happy birthday breakdown...with a bit of added spice!
ORANGE PARK, FL — [October 2025] — Grab a beach chair and a slice of cake, because the Timeshare Users Group (TUG) — the original online community for timeshare owners — just turned 32 years old! Since 1993, TUG has been helping owners dodge scams, ditch high-pressure sales tactics, and make smarter vacation decisions before “timeshare regret” even has time to unpack its suitcase.
What started as a few frustrated owners swapping advice on dial-up internet has exploded into a powerhouse community of tens of thousands worldwide — complete with over $75 million in successful owner-to-owner sales and rentals, zero commissions, and zero large upfront fees (because who likes those?).
TUG’s forums remain the internet’s most trusted corner for all things timeshare. From dissecting the latest corporate rebrand (looking at you, BeeGee Max) to helping someone give away a week in Pigeon Forge for free, TUG proves that knowledge really is the best upgrade.
The group’s impact speaks for itself:
TUG continues to be the go-to destination for owners looking to sell, rent, give away, or just understand their timeshare — without getting fleeced in the process.
As TUG heads into year 33, one thing hasn’t changed: the mission to put owners first. Transparent advice, supportive community, and zero-BS guidance — it’s what TUG has done since day one, and what will keep it thriving for decades to come.
So here’s to 32 years of helping timeshare owners everywhere make smarter moves, save money, and maybe even enjoy their vacations again.
