To Timeshare or Not: Making the Right Choice
Have you been approached recently by someone trying to sell you a timeshare? Perhaps it was a sales call offering a free weekend stay if you attended a 90-minute presentation, or maybe you received an email or phone call about a resort week. So, should you listen to the marketing pitch or the cautionary voice in your head?
Consider Your Travel Habits
To decide, it's important to consider your travel preferences with your family. Ask yourself:
- Do you take vacations at the same time each year?
- Do you visit the same vacation spot every year?
- Do you enjoy extended-stay hotel accommodations?
If you answered yes, a traditional timeshare might be a great fit. Explore online options for the best value, focusing on low price and low flexibility.
But if you enjoy:
- Different vacation spots every year,
- Taking vacations at various times,
- Staying in quaint homes and bed-and-breakfasts,
Then a timeshare likely isn’t for you.
For those who find themselves in between these preferences:
- Occasionally changing vacation destinations,
- Taking a summer vacation and possibly a winter one,
- Preferring deluxe accommodations but occasionally enjoying a cozier setting,
You might consider a premium timeshare. Companies like Marriott, Hilton, and Disney provide flexible networks with extensive trade options, offering premium trade value.
Understanding Trade Value
Trade value allows timeshare owners to deposit vacation weeks into a "bank" for later use, unlocking options for different resorts and dates. But not all timeshares are equal. Premium resorts like Marriott, Hilton, and Disney offer first options to their owners.
For example, if you’re waiting for a Marriott week and a spot becomes available, a Marriott owner could claim it before you, even if you were first in line. It may not seem fair, but it’s the reality of timeshare trading.
Weighing the Costs
Premium timeshares can cost three to four times more than non-premium ones. This added expense buys you flexibility and priority in trades. If flexibility isn’t crucial, consider more affordable options. If it is, a premium company may be worthwhile.
Choose wisely based on your needs, and ensure your investment aligns with what matters most in your travels.
