Global Resorts Network | Any truth to Global Resorts? (by KC):

With today's costs of gas, airfare, weekly resorts stays (often averaging 1200 to 1500 per week). I'm hoping to find a long term solution that will afford our family to take several vacations each year to spend more quality time together.
I've been checking into various time share opportunities and recently ran across this website for Global Resorts Network pertaining to their membership priveledges that are life long and allow for unlimited use at over 5000 participating four star & five star resorts for no more than 799 for a week but more often the price is around 299 to 499 per week at these resorts.
I spoke with a few Global Resorts Network members and was delighted at some of their reports of savings and the quality of the resorts that they experienced when using the Global Resorts Membership. They also said that I could use it as many times per year as I want. I like that about this GRN membership. I also like the fact that it doesn't cost me tens or thousands to get involved with.
I was wondering if anyone that has had experiences with both Time Shares and Global Resorts Network stays could offer any further advice or guidance?
Thank you for your input.
Janelle
I'll be a bit more blunt than Mike and simply state that I believe this system to be little more than a "multi level marketing" scheme, not at all a good "value", and unlikely to provide you with either dates or locations you actually want. Ask yourself one fundamental question --- why is it that the only folks with anything good to say about this product appear to be people who've bought into this MLM scheme already themselves, but rarely (if ever) providing ANY specific examples of actual successful usage???
CAVEAT EMPTOR! (Buyer Beware)!
