Re: Manhattan Club Lawsuit (by Wayne C.):
Can't say that buying a timeshare is a scam. As a former timeshare sales and marketing professional, the people are the scams. Unfortunately, people do not look into the industry before the purchase. They buy on impulse, and this is how the developers make their money.
I think that the doors have opened up for people to buy timeshares on their own terms - the resale market. You an take your time, pay what you desire, and buy exactly what you want and where you want.
I would NEVER recommend anyone buy points as they lose control, lost protection and the points inflate over time. In most cases, you cannot use the new resorts with old points. You must always "upgrade." Yes, a scam. I would always recommend buying deeded weeks.
