Discover Travel Club Membership Benefits That Are Leaving Timeshares In The Dust.
Timeshares have been in existence for several decades now and have been a rather well-liked option by those that really enjoy traveling. The initial investment generally starts around $16,000 and is accompanied by an annual maintenence fee of $300-$900. Many travellers don’t realize this, but that fee must be paid each year. Even if you don’t even use your week for that particular year. Of course your week can be traded in for another Timeshare week. And typically an exchange fee of several hundred dollars is needed for this exchange to occur.
So what exactly makes owning a Travel Club Membership such a superior option to that of owning a Timeshare? Well, there are many benefits to owning a Travel Club Membership. Such as:
1. For Beginners, the amount of capital needed to aquire a Travel Club Membership is generally a minimum of five times less than that of a Timeshare. This much smaller investment makes ownership much easier in today’s challenging economy.
2. Also there are no upkeep fees required because you pay as you go. Costs can be as low as $298 for an entire family for a whole week. If you do not use it you won’t pay anything. And what many people do not realize is if you fail to pay your upkeep fee on your Timeshare, you could have your Timeshare foreclosed on. Even if you failed to use it during that entire year. There are no taxes or check-in fees included in this weekly rate. And most of all, there are no dreaded Timeshare presentations required in order to experience these extremely low rates.
3. As stated above, with a Timeshare you either vacation at the same place every year or you can try to exchange your week for a more desirable location. This can be accomplished through the RCI Timeshare Exchange, which can become expensive as well as time consuming. Or you can go online and take your chances by posting your ad at various places such as Backpage or Craigslist. If you’re very fortunate you can find someone that has what you want and wants what you have. But, with a Travel Club Membership you typically will have dozens, hundreds, and even thousands of special properties to choose from. You’ll have much more variety Plus you’ll have access to some of the best properties in the world.
