Win $1000 in Timeshare Vacation Contest, But Deadline Approaches

It is not too late to make your last timeshare vacation pay off in a big way. ARDA’s website, www.vacationbetter.org is dedicated to providing information on timeshare, fractionals and private residence clubs with the goal of showing vacationers meaningful ways to vacation better. Again this year, they are hosting the Bring Your Vacation to Life contest, and your old vacation photos and favorite stories could make you a winner.

All you have to do to turn your vacation memories into a $1000 gift certificate is to submit the best vacation short story, photo, or vacation video in the contest. Select a photo, tell a story, or share a video that captures how a timeshare vacation helped changed your life, your health, or your happiness.

You can upload your stories, photos, or videos online at the VacationBetter website. You can submit them via email to:
