One way to increase the value of your timeshares is to ask for either the benefits you are entitled to or even benefits that are available for the asking. I find that by being kind, there is often a chance to get an upgrade even when it is not "standard" for the location. But it is also important to know your status perks.

In this Video, I will talk about my favorite upgrades and the approach I take to getting them... My basic premise is that if you give the gift of kindness from the moment you arrive, you will often receive the gift of kindness for what you ask for. My main approach to stay away from acting like you deserve something because I view that as adversarial. I try to form a team with the person who is determining where I will stay for the duration of my vacation.
