timeshare news

Timeshare owners don’t take advantage of the fact that owning timeshare at the right location, (or exchanging timeshare for the right location) at the right time, can translate to a bargain deal on event accommodations. For example, Miami timeshare for the week of February 7, 2010 puts you in the right place at the right time for Super Bowl XLIV. Or Vancouver timeshare a few weeks later could put you in the midst of Winter Olympic excitement.

So where do you wish you had timeshare tonight? How about a Mexico timeshare at the beautiful Moon Palace Resort? The temperature is comfortably in the 80’s there right now and the Gulf of Mexico meets the Caribbean Atlantic producing endless ocean views of azure blue. Oh yes, and did I mention, you could also be courtside for some outstanding NCAA basketball?

The Cancun Challenge is being played there featuring the University of Kentucky, Cleveland State, Florida A&M, Oral Roberts, Rider, Sam Houston State, Stanford, and the University of Virginia. Admission to all eight games costs $300, if you are staying at the Moon Palace Resort or other Palace Resort. Basketball fans not staying at one of the Palace Resort timeshares pay an access fee to the property of $162 on top of the cost of the tickets.

Once you are there at your Moon Palace Resort timeshare, not only is there great basketball backed up by unlimited fun, surf, and sun, but because this Mexico timeshare is an all-inclusive resort, your food, drinks, and the amenities of the timeshare resort are unlimited.

Pre-scheduling your timeshare exchange (or booking a timeshare rental) to put you in the right place at the right time is an excellent use of timeshare and one too many timeshare owners overlook. So before you miss the “next big thing” here’s a suggestion. Get out your calendar and go online to find the dates and locations of concerts, sporting events, exhibits, meteor showers or whatever it is in life that you enjoy most, and then use your timeshare for timeshare exchange, or schedule a timeshare rental, so that next time, you are exactly where you dream of being, at a beautiful (right-priced) resort at the heart of the excitement.

Yesterday marked the start of National Family Week in the United States. The event, organized by the Alliance for Children and Families, is dedicated to the building of strong families and this year coincides with Thanksgiving week. The association urges individuals, families, schools, corporations, communities and policymakers to get involved in activities and policies that support and nurture family bonds. Your efforts count, whether it is something as simple as writing a thank you note to someone who helps your family, or as broad reaching as changing corporate policy or state laws to better support the interests of the family unit.

Here on The Timeshare Authority blog, we frequently bring up the importance of family time shared together. Schedules are hectic in most households, jobs, school, and an overload of activities can all get in the way of parents spending time with their children, and couples spending time together.

As ARDA’s companion website, VacationBetter.org reminds us, “Today’s hyper-busy lifestyle can take its toll on relationships as evidenced by high divorce rates in the United States. According to a recent survey by VacationBetter.org, seventy-two percent of respondents listed time away with their spouse as one of the best ways to reconnect and rekindle romance within the marriage. The quality of leisure time with one’s partner is strongly related to marital satisfaction. Even more, satisfaction with leisure time is one of the most important factors in one’s overall quality of life. And regular vacations are an important part of a couple’s overall “leisure portfolio.”

Timeshare Resales and Timeshare Rentals Make Vacationing Easier

Money is tight in millions of homes, but children have a way of growing up quickly and all too soon being out of our lives. Childhood is fleeting but precious family memories last a lifetime for both you and your children. Fun filled vacation days, are perfect for making memories and for leaving the distractions of the world far behind.

This week’s going to be a busy one for most people. Yet somewhere after the turkey and football, why not spend some time perusing the excellent deals available in timeshare resales and timeshare rentals? You can start planning that very special (and affordable) family vacation now.

The website InvestorWords.com gives us these definitions of the word, “investment”:

• Definition 1

• Definition 2
  In business, the purchase by a producer of a physical good, such as durable equipment or inventory, in the hope of improving future business.

Over the past six years, since Sell My Timeshare NOW was first founded, we have written, stated, tweeted, and probably shouted from a few rooftops, “timeshares are not an investment.”

Timeshares are a fabulous way to vacation, offering ease of vacation planning, spacious accommodations, and amenities to suit every member of the family. But you should not buy timeshare because you expect to be able to resell it at a higher price. And our legal system, including the Securities and Exchange Commission takes a dim view of people who try to tell you otherwise.

Case in point from this week’s Legal Newsline:

This story comes packed with lots of lessons.

• Don’t take tax advice from anyone who is not certified to provide it.
• Don’t transfer your timeshare to anyone or any company on a promise.
• And most importantly, if it seems too good to be true… don’t believe the hype!

Yes, you can resell your timeshare. You can also donate your timeshare, give it away, or use it as a timeshare rental, and these are all strategies for offsetting or eliminating the cost of continuing to pay annual fees on a timeshare you no longer use. But before you take any of these actions, make sure you are dealing with a reputable timeshare resales advertising company or timeshare brokers who are giving you a reasonable and accurate picture about timeshare resales.
