Re: using your timeshare for an exchange is a JOKE!!!! (by Edward F.):

When I first bought timeshares back in the late 80's and early 90's there was never a problem exchanging them. Then corporate greed kicked in when Cendant bought RCI and decided to sell the better weeks on the open market to make more profits. Evidently the other exchange companies caught on and saw that they could deprive us of our choices and make more money.I would never purchase another timeshare or join a vacation club. You can go on this site or other sites and rent them from owners for less than they pay in maintenance fees. I hope the timeshare industry self destructs over time due to their greed and maybe bring back ownership to the way it was meant to work.
If you don't mind me asking, which company were your prior timeshares with?
Also, I would like to thank you for the careful typing you do or proof reading/correcting. Some people's posts have so many misspellings and grammatical mistakes, I often don't have a clue what they are trying to say.
