Re: My timeshare is paid in full, but I just don't want it anymore (by Debbie S.):
We bought a week in 2008 at Marriotts (technically the week was in Las Vegas). We eventually bought about 20,000 additional points (several years later). We originally had around $1000/year maintenance fee. The additional points took us up to around $2000/year maintenance fees. We used our points every year. We only stayed in Las Vegas once. Our favorite spot was Newport Beach in CA. In 2018 it became clear that these vacation arrangements weren't working for us anymore. I contacted Marriotts. They said we could deed it back. They even paid us for some of the points we'd bought. It was much less than we paid for them, but I was surprised to get anything! That said, I would not advise anyone to buy a timeshare. You are further ahead to look on VRBO and rent someone else's.
