It used to be that owning a timeshare was the de facto answer for those looking to defray high travel costs. This often meant that investors had to make an investment of about $16k to gain the right to use a week every year at their timeshare property. Of course you can not forget about the annual fees that could range anywhere from $300 on up. To be fair you could always exchange your timeshare week for another one at a different property but this was not always easy and definitely not free to do. The rest of this article will focus on the top three reasons why travel club membership is superior to owning a timeshare.
The Benefits
Here we will list the top three benefits for being a member of a club versus joining a timeshare. This is not an exhaustive list by any means and they are not listed in any order:
Benefit #1
Less Expensive. Joining a travel club can be done for far less money. In some cases it can be as much as eight to ten times cheaper. With some travel clubs there are no annual fees.
Benefit #2
No Upkeep Fees. Since you pay as you actually use the travel club this is another cost you will not have to foot. For timeshare owners this fee can be as much as $298.00 for an entire week. With some travel clubs you can stay at a luxury resort for seven days for half of that.
Benefit #3
Huge Selection. Some clubs have up to 83,000 luxury destinations located all around the world that you can have discounted access to with your membership. With a timeshare you are limited to the location you originally signed up for or you could pay extra to attempt an exchange to a different location.
With this brief article I have stated the top three benefits of being a member of a travel club. These included it being less expensive, no upkeep fees and more destinations to choose from. Of course this brief introduction did not cover all of the benefits but I think you can see from what was stated enough to make further inquiry into.
