What you must know about Timesharing Travel before spend your money on it

February 26, 2007 · Filed Under MISC · Comment 


Recently, one of my friend just spend a few thousands dollar to get a timesharing travel package. This is the first time I heard about timeshare, please forgive me about this :-)

They are so happy with it and try to share whatever benefits they have from the package. I found it really sound interesting too and thought I should get a package like this later.

So I just follow my old habit, trying to do some research on the Timeshare market and what it really is and I just found 3 sites that I think important for me and you before we spend any money:

  1. Timeshare, Wikipedia – this is one of the most complete explanations on timeshare, I think. Just spend some time here and you can know the A to Z about timeshare
  2. 10 Reason Why you should not buy a timeshare – Well, I really heard many negative response on timeshare program but this is one of the article that written by an owner of timeshare.
  3. Timeshare Donation – Ok, I really don’t know that we can donate our timeshare for charity purpose!

Conclusion

If you are going to buy any timeshare program, then you must do some research on the program and also the company. Please remember to read their terms and conditions too.
