The reason I created this video was to provide people with an idea on how you can learn if you might like to be an owner of a timeshare. The best way is to stay in one. And by using your hotel points, you won't have to get involved with the timeshare marketing groups. Timeshare accommodations are typically more luxurious than hotel stays and provide more square feet of living space. It is worth trying this at least once to see if it is something you should consider.

In this video, I will show examples of Marriott, Hilton, and Wyndham reservations options that I found searching using hotel points. I kept them as consistent as possible. All of them were three night stays. They were in comparable locations (2 in las Vegas and one in Palm Springs). If you do enjoy your stay, you will probably be offered a timeshare purchase presentation. Always ask for more than they offer. Who knows, you might earn part of the points back that you used to booked the vacation.
