Travel Channel Reports on Time-Shares

Travel Channel Reports on Time-Shares

Travel writer Terry Ward has written an excellent article for the Travel Channel. She writes about the way timesharing has changed in recent years and explains a lot about why buying time-shares makes such good vacation sense.

In the article (titled, “Vacation Time-Shares, See More Places, Save More Money,”) Ward says, “Your benefit as a buyer comes not in the property’s appreciating value over time, but in the fact that every year, for a rate that’s fixed when you buy in, you are guaranteed a week or more of vacation time in pretty much your choice of destinations.”

As one of her sources, the writer quotes Kim Kavin, author of The Everything Family Guide to Timeshare, a timeshare book that is especially helpful to new and prospective timeshare buyers. Kavin says, “When you buy a time-share unit, you are essentially buying a financial hedge against vacation inflation, or the rising cost of hotel rooms.”

But Ward wisely doesn’t limit her focus to the purchase of new timeshares only. Instead, she directs much of her article to looking at timeshare resales, and for that information, she turned to Sell My Timeshare NOW.

Buying Timeshares Can be Smart; Buying Resales Timeshares Can be Brilliant

The article advises timeshare buyers that they should understand that buying timeshare can come with “hidden costs.” Ward describes such costs in this way, “Be aware that in addition to the initial outlay of cash to purchase your time-share, you’ll also be responsible for annual maintenance fees ranging from roughly $200 to $600. Other hidden costs can include one-time fees for capital improvements, exchange company fees incurred when you exchange your week for another week, and conversion fees should you choose to convert your week into points for a cruise, airline miles and the like. For time-share owners who opt to finance their purchase, mortgage interest payments can also come into play.”

At Sell My Timeshare NOW, we like to think that such costs are never hidden; that we help timeshare buyers clearly understand what they are purchasing when they buy timeshare resales, so that expenses such as maintenance fees, or possible bills for capital improvements never catch them by surprise.

Marriott Vacation Club Timeshare Goes from Green to Greener

Marriott Vacation Club Timeshare Goes from Green to Greener

We’ve been updating you all year on what Marriott International and Marriot Vacation Club timeshare is doing to protect and preserve the environment. In February, The Timeshare Authority brought you an update on Marriott Vacation Club employees in Orlando, FL who made the switch from plastic eating utensils and Styrofoam serve ware in their cafeterias. They even switched to SpudWare ™, which are eating utensils that are made from potato starch and that completely biodegrade in 100 days after disposal.

Marriott has also taken steps to make their greens environmentally greener on golf courses at Marriott Hotels and Marriott timeshares, by using more eco-friendly methods of golf course maintenance, including reducing their use of chemicals on the greens and fairways.

More than 2200 Marriott timeshare resales available at SellMyTimeshareNOW.com

Last week in Salt Lake City, Utah, Marriott Vacation Club International expanded their efforts to go green by conducting the Green Fair, involving more than 18 businesses and non-profit organizations. The idea behind the Green Fair is to educate and inform employees and associations about actions they can personally take to recycle and reduce energy consumption.

Over 900 Marriott Vacation Club International associates received reusable eco-friendly mugs and shopping bags. They were also given the opportunity to calculate their individual carbon footprint. Ron Essig, vice president of global owner products and services for Marriott Vacation Club International said, “This is just one step toward Marriott International’s efforts to preserve the environment, acting both locally here in Salt Lake City and across the Marriott Vacation Club International division. With more than 900 associates at the Salt Lake City Marriott Customer Service Center, if we all do our part, we can definitely make a difference-both at the office and at home.”

Marriott vacation club estimates that the immediate result of their effort to go green will be a reduction of nearly 100,000 pieces of plastic ware that would have wound up in landfills.
