1. Buying a Timeshare is a bad investment. Quite right! A Timeshare isn't intended as an investment, rather an opportunity to purchase access to first class, worldwide accommodation which is often far superior to a hotel.
2. It's cheaper to Rent a Timeshare. There are excellent deals available and sometimes it may be cheaper to rent than own. However there are many great reasons to purchase a Timeshare including ease of planning your holiday and peace of mind knowing you will always have at least one vacation period each year, guaranteed.
3. Trading a Timeshare isn't as easy as claimed. Each year many thousands of Timeshare weeks are exchanged using different options which include exchanges through your own Timeshare network or with other companies such as RCI and Interval International as well as many other smaller organisations.
4. Hotel Prices are increasing and so are Timeshare fees. The cost of many things increases over time. A good idea is to research if or how much Timeshare fees have increased at the resort where you are considering making a purchase and compare this with the rise in hotel prices.
Deciding to purchase a Timeshare vacation product is simply a choice, one which many thousands of people have decided to make and which has resulted in many years of happy vacations.
