Travel Consolidators Taking Over Timeshares? (by R P.):

We recently went to a presentation by a travel consolidator. Similar to a timeshare, they offer to sell an upfront membership fee and annual dues, then offer discounts on timeshare and other properties (similar to an II or RCI hotweek). We got the impression that these companies are buying up timeshares on the cheap to resell to their members. Does anyone know anything about these companies, and whether or not they are a good deal?

Also, after reading about some travel memberships, it seems many people can't get the reservations they desire.

I would pass on the offer and rent from individuals (such as from Redweek members) and that way you are not committed to membership fees and yearly dues, etc.
