Question by jerry M: How WorldMark by Wyndham timeshare program is related to the Wyndham program?
I went to WorldMark by Wyndham presentation.

They weren’t able to answer this question. All personnel was wearing Wyndham labels. But they claimed that they are very separate from Wyndham. And they claimed that they aren’t “timeshare” program at all but a vacation ownership program.

So are WorldMark points the same as Wyndham points?

Question by Maranda: Has anyone gone on a Wyndham vacation pacage where you have to sit through a timeshare presentation?
Is it worth it? We are doing it in San Antonio. We aren’t interested in the timeshare but we were wondering if they try to charge us anything else other than the package without telling us? Has anyone ever done this and what do you think of it?

Thanks!

Answer by tntsolid
The announcement makes it look as though you will get something valuable for nothing. But that is not true. You will have to earn it by sitting through a long sales pitch, often of more than two hours, and frequently using high pressure tactics. For that, you will earn the cheapest of the “gifts” listed.

Question by hammyjunebug: What to expect attending a Welk resort (escondido, ca) timeshare sales presentation?
I got suckered into signing up for this. Now I have to go to try to get my deposit back. Are there any suggestions on how to make sure the sales pitch does not take up more than 90 minutes of my valuable time? I have no money nor interest in buying a timeshare of any sort.

Best answer:

Answer by Sweetharttt
They will ask questions on your vacations that you have taken. Tell then you stay at the cheapest hotels you can find because you are there only to sleep and not for the amenities provided. Tell them you spending a lot for a room, or having a kitchen is not for you. On vacation you do like to eat out. Getting the time down to 90 minutes will be the hardest because they keep switching you from one sales person to another with different speels. Just ell them you have tickets or a play starting at such and such a time and need to leave when your time is up. Just don’t fall for their words’

Best of luck.

I am considering purchasing/bidding on a timeshare resale at e-bay and the seller has indicated that I should do my due diligence. What should I check out and from whom should I obtain this information?

Best answer:

Answer by Roy W
Real estate due diligence usually involve the verificaiton of claims. You want to know the buidling actually exists. You want know that he owns the building. These information can be obtained from the local courthouse.

But you are dealing with timeshare, which is murkier. A reputable seller would therefore should offer you more information, such as the evidence of legitimate contract. Telling you to do your own diligence when it is nearly impossible to do so would be an indication that you might want to think it over.

Price: 000… 4 Float weeks… 1BR/1BA/sleeps 4… With its golden facade arching toward the sky, Wynn Las Vegas provides a unique fusion of nature and luxury. From the towering mountain at the front of the resort on the Las Vegas Strip to the Tom Fazio-designed 18-hole championship golf course at the back, natural beauty permeates Wynn Las Vegas. Lagoons, waterfalls, terraced landscapes, floor-to-ceiling windows, and skylights throughout the 217-acre resort create a tranquil environment. Fine dining, swank shops, a rejuvenating spa and thriving nightlife round out the resort experience. Flowers bloom throughout the Wynn property, both living and as part of the design. An indoor atrium near the lobby leads guests through a pathway of flowers and trees. Even the carpet in the 110000-square-foot casino which has more than 1900 slots, a 26-table poker room and a full array of tables games portrays a colorful and thematic flower pattern. The marriage of luxury and nature at Wynn Las Vegas does not end with the resort’s main level.

timeshare-Timeshares – Too Good To Be True Deals

travelwishtv.com . On this edition, we’re still giving out advice on Timeshares. The first piece of advice if you’re purchasing a timeshare is to make sure you don’t believe everything you hear, either negative or positive, about timeshares. Maybe you have a family member who tells you not to buy a timeshare because you’ll never be able to trade for better locations, or a salesperson promising you if you buy you’ll always be able to trade for any location. The person advising you against it might have had a timeshare in a bad location, and the salesperson might be trying to hustle you to unload a less than desirable location… just make sure you are informed and don’t just listen to what one person has to say about your purchase. And that leads us to our next tip… always do your homework, which I’ll tell you about next time.

Question by CPHOR: What is a timeshare and how does it work?
What is a timeshare? I listen people talk about that they have timeshares but i dont know what it is. How does it work?

Best answer:

Answer by tntsolid
Timeshare at its core is essentially a group of people sharing the cost of a vacation home.

The word “timeshare” has grown over the decades to include a wide variety of vacation products and plans. Also known as “vacation ownership” “holiday ownership” and “interval ownership” , its umbrella covers traditional deeded timeshare ownership, fractional ownership, private residence clubs, points clubs, and more. Some would even broaden the term further to include campground memberships and the ” condo hotel” concept, in which a condo is purchased outright but the owner is only allowed to use it for a specific periods of time and it is rented by a hotel management company for the remainder of the time.

Regardless of how loosely or rigidly you choose to define the term, the basic premise of timeshare is simple. You and a group of other people share the purchase cost of a vacation accommodation, in increments of one week (or more) per year of use, thus guaranteeing your ability to use that accommodation during the period of time you choose, either for life or for a specified number of years. Accommodations range from hotel rooms to condos, from cabins to luxury houses and castles, from yachts and cruise ships to RVs and houseboats.Owning timeshare in the traditional sense means a condominium/villa/house/hotel unit, etc. is subdivided into 52 separate units of time (52 weeks in 1 year), and usually sold to a maximum of 51 owners (leaving one week each year closed down for annual renovations and/or maintenance). Each owner would own 1/51 of the unit. Each share repesents one week of vacation. Each owner is entitled to ownership rights and privileges of the shares that they purchased.

This system makes vacation home ownership possible for many people who cannot afford a second home or who otherwise would not be able to enjoy such resort facilities. It is important to remember that purchasing timeshare should never be viewed as a financial investment with the expectation of gaining a profit in either reselling it or renting it to someone else. Timeshare is an investment in lifestyle, in future holidays, in family time together, and when viewed that way it can be a good investment indeed.

If I own a home out right, worth about 0,000. What do I do if I want to make it into a timeshare? Who receives the money that the timeshare holders pay? Do I loose all interest in the home if I do this? I can’t find anything online that will give me any helpful answers. Can anyone enlighten me?

Best answer:

Answer by tntsolid
Well,
First of all you have to asses where is your vacation home located at and if it has any demand from people on vacation just to find out if it’s worth to sell it like that (this will cost you money).
Then you have to go trough what ever license you need to operate or be able to sell the weeks(more money), I am talking county license and maybe ARDA license (American Resort Development Association).
The basic concept is that you divide your house in 52 weeks, you sell 50 and leave 2 for maintenance.
The price of the weeks has to be divided according to the demand of the season (high demand weeks cost more).
The maintenance fee is equal for all the weeks.
After you figure all that, then you have to HIRE some hardcore sales team to market it and sell it (and pay super money). Usually this will cost you around 40% of the Price of the week.
At this point after everything I explained to you (witch it is just the tip of the iceberg).
In order for you to just make your 0,000 you will have to sell some of the weeks at prices over ,000 USD.

Here is my question back to you:
Do you think a week a year in your house is worth that much?

I have a timeshare in San Diego that I am paying on. There are no black out days which makes it a great deal. But I need to get rid of it. I have been told by several places not to deal with a company that charges to sell, but I can not find any that do not. Any recommendations? Hopefully a company someone has used before.

Question by Kevin R: Is there a difference timeshare points from wyndahm and resale?
If i only want to use wyndham/fairfield resorts, are resale points treated any different than the points that i but from wyndham? If I did want to use a different timeshare, how do i trade my points? Can I use my points for other things like cruises, airfare, and rental cars?

Best answer:

Answer by Allen S
Yes — they are different. To trade your points for a different timeshare, you need to belong to a timeshare broker organization, such as RCI or II. For a fee, they allow you to exchange your “points” for other properties, get airline miles, rental cars, etc..
