Re: WALK AWAY FROM TIMESHARE (by NoOneYouKnow):
didn't see that coming
But it would be fun if 1.5 million (ARDA's estimate of dissatisfied owners) did just "walk away".
I bet there would be some fast changes in the industry, owner-friendly changes aimed at making the timeshare experience better, rather than abusive, archaic policies designed to use imprisoned owners as a cash cow.
Earlier I mentioned we have whittled down to just two weeks, which we own for year-round day-use of amenities, and that I put them in the owners' rental program or rent them out myself. One is a Week 1 SWFL beach resort. This year's fee is $533, which we have paid. The resort rented it out, and we get $675, the resort gets $225, and we have year-round day-use. No losers there.
That's an example of a better experience.
Yeah, it can be done if the industry/resort wants to do it.
