Timeshare Secrets

The 10 Secrets That Timeshares
DON'T Want You To Know

Timeshares are FAR MORE COSTLY than they want you to believe

1. If you can not pay cash for the timeshare, expect to pay as much as DOUBLE the price they tell you with interest fees
2. Yes, hotel costs are rising....BUT SO ARE TIMESHARE COSTS
3. Maintenance fees are typically NOT locked in. That means that they can increase it ANY TIME THEY WANT!
4. Trading your week, points, or whatever deal they are running is FAR MORE DIFFICULT than they want you to believe
5. The free incentives that they offer you to go to the presentation are typically nowhere near as good as they make them sound
6. Trading or selling your Timeshare can be a VERY costly process
7. Try GIVING your timeshare back, and they won't even take it for free. Why? Because they have you LOCKED into a guaranteed maintenance fee, which means you don't pay, the fees start piling up.
8. Ever wonder why they always want couples to view the presentation? It is because they just need to get one of you interested, and then they work there way in.
9. They tell you that you MUST buy on the spot!
This is because they do not want you to be able to go do research.
They are forcing you to make a multi-thousand dollar, uneducated decision, based solely on what THEY are telling you.
10. You have other options than overpaying for a timeshare to travel
