- Manhattan Club NYC
So my parents own the Manhattan club timeshare in New York City. They have a platinum membership which is premium and gets them weekends.
The cost to carry the unit is $3300 per year and my parents have offered it to me if I want it for free. I would just need to carry the yearly resort fee.
This seems like a great opportunity on the surface but when I consider that we live in NYC already and that I would only be using it for its RCI trade value I don’t know anymore.
I would still have to fly my family to wherever we go, so I wonder if it is really in my best interest to consider it.
What do you all think? I am new to the concept of Timeshare. The Manhattan Club has the highest possible trade value and the Platinum mambership means that I would be able to trade it for just about anywhere in the network. That’s the plus obviously. The minus is that the carrying costs are really about the same as paying for a week in a good hotel anywhere I’d like.
Thoughts and advice would be most welcome!
