Apples vs. Oranges... (by KC):

You think 200.00 is high to transfer membership? We are being charged 1100.00! That's right- this is not a typo! 100.00 transfer fee and 500.00 per person to transfer the names for golf privileges. Talk about being taken advantage of! This is for the Los Cabos Golf Resort in Cabo San Lucas? Is anybody out there who has encountered anything like this? We are not even selling this- we are donating to charity-

With due respect, yours is really an entirely different situation, since what YOU have is not actually an ownership at all in the first place. What you (or anyone else) have in Mexico is a time defined "right to use" contract, with no actual ownership. The Celebrity ownership which was under discussion here is instead an actual, deeded, lifetime ownership. In most U.S. timeshare ownerships, "transfer fees" range from zero to $200, with a representative common fee being $75. What you have is a very different animal entirely, being essentially a "golf membership" associated with a RTU contract.

Nonetheless, I certainly agree that your Cabo situation is truly a ripoff --- as is so very much of what goes on in Mexico with timeshares...
