You may have seen Tina Fey, (or as she is often known these days, the Sarah Palin lookalike,) and Hollywood director Martin Scorsese in a great commercial for American Express. The premise of the commercial is that Tina Fey and Martin Scorsese cross paths in an airport, and Martin tells Tina he needs to talk to her about, “something that could be a unique opportunity,” for her.

While Fey assumes it is a movie script, the commercial, which is titled, “Airport Lounge,” closes with the revelation that Scorsese is not thinking about the, ‘next big blockbuster,’ but instead wants to talk to her about buying a timeshare in Boca.

The YouTube video below shows you this comical sixty-second spot:

A Funny Take on Timeshares

How funny is this commercial? Funny enough that American Express has also released the bonus cut from the commercial – an additional minute and fifty-three seconds that are even funnier. Watch Scorsese as he goes in for the hard sell, an approach that is all too often associated with timeshare sales.

Timeshare points can be confusing when you first try to understand them. Each timeshare company runs their own unique point system and gives their timeshare points different values. One way for a company to distinguish itself from traditional timeshare real estate ownership is to call itself a vacation club. A vacation club will have their own individual club points that can be used similar to currency.

Timeshare points offer a way for you to accumulate ‘currency’ from year to year, allowing you the spending power to vacation at larger timeshares or more desirable locations than the timeshare you originally purchased. In many cases, timeshare points can also be used to purchase other travel services, such as airline tickets or cruises. It all depends on your timeshare company, and their options and restrictions on timeshare points.

Some timeshare owners are surprised to learn that timeshare points also can be sold. Yes, you can resell timeshare points in much the same way you sell deeded or right to use timeshares. And timeshare points don’t always come from a timeshare developer. Your timeshare exchange company can issue timeshare points as well. If the flexibility of owning timeshare points appeals to you, look into owning RCI Multi-destination timeshare points, purchased in the resale marketplace.

Florida Timeshare on Historic Singer Island

Palm Beach and Palm Beach Shores have long been a favorite getaway for those who want to escape winter weather and enjoy sun and sand in upscale style. The Marriott Ocean Pointe timeshare is luxurious and in keeping with the affluent charm and lifestyle that defines Singer Island, which boasts some of the most expensive real estate in the world.

The island is named after the twenty-third son of the founder of the Singer Sewing Machine company, Paris Singer, who developed the nearby city of Palm Beach. It is believed that Mr. Singer originally purchased the island as a gift for a woman he loved. Sadly, she failed to appreciate his grand gesture, so Singer and architect Addison Mizner, set about to develop the property with a large resort on either end of the island and a golf course in between.

The combination of the 1928 hurricane and the 1929 stock market crash brought development of the resort properties on the island to a halt, until 1947 when railroad tycoon, A. O. Edwards, bought 240 acres of land on the island and began building hotels and luxury vacation homes. After Edwards’ death in 1960, financier John D. Macarthur bought the Edwards estate and came to be the largest landowner in Palm Beach County, with more than 100,000 acres of real estate. Having built his empire by founding the Chicago’s Banker’s Life and Casualty Insurance Company, MacArthur reigned over his multi-billion dollar kingdom from a coffee shop booth in the island’s Colonnades Hotel, reporting for work there daily until his death in 1976. Today, Marriott’s Ocean Pointe Resort stands on the spot where MacArthur once ran his business.
