Re: WARNING - RE TIMESHARE EXCHANGES (by Orville F.):

I've heard of this. Some kind of "We don't have to guarantee you a week you'll want, but if you'll take what we have available you can use it for free" deal.

Just remember you paid all your maintenance fees upfront. $10,000 only lasts 20 weeks if you pay $500 each week. If you have 52 total weeks you got a steal depending on what you paid for them and if they end up having any acceptable weeks for you to use.

Oh, and if they charge an all-inclusive fee you really got nothing as we can all go to an all-inclusive place for about $49 plus the fee just about anytime. Even my vacation home totally paid for, costs money to sit empty.

PS. He is correct in Timeshare OWNERSHIP. Perhaps you are thinking of prepaid vacations?
