I've seen a lot of negative posts about time shares. My wife and I vacation about 2 to 3 times a year and would like to buy a time share. Not a wee some where specific, but some where we can use to go anywhere. We know some people that have some and have good things to say about them. Both people we know us point systems and go where ever they want. Who is the best to go through for the cost?
We were recently in Vegas and went to a GEO Holiday presentation. I'm in sales so I understand why people hate these sales reps. We didn't buy!! but we did accept a week from an RCI resort anywhere and we will go back to the Jockey club after that we see if we do want to buy.
Once again we want to buy a timeshare because we like to vacation and we want to be able to do it anywhere. I know it's not an investment or anything like that, but we want to go different places becasue we are going to do it anyway.
We want to start off small at first. Probably a EOY timeshare. They offered us 15,000 points EOY and we can buy more points to stay at more expensive places. If we buy a small package the maintaince fees are only around 300 dollars a year. I think purchase price for this was $8750. They told use if we bought that day we also get 4 other perks. I can't remember what all of them were. I think $0 cost membership to RCI, 30 day or less purchase for around 5000 points, we can buy points for low cost and also can rent some timeshares for around $199 without using points. THere was some other things and I may be a little off on this but that was the jist of it.
I know some are going to say that 15000 points are too little, but we had access to their site and found hundreds of places we could go for that. We also had access to their RCI page that showed hundreds of RCI locations around the world for 15000 to 18000 Geo points.
My question is simple, How do I pick a place to get my TS through? Should I buy from this TS company, should I go with another company, or should I buy a TS from someone trying to sell directly?
