Hello All,
As an ex timeshare member, I have to put everyone's mind at rest. There's nothing wrong in owning a timeshare, that is purely an individual's choice, it simply gives that person access to the same high quality accomodation (luxury) that you will be paying more with a travel agents. In addition, owning a timeshare included TITLE DEEDS. Does a travel agent provide you with this when you book a holiday? Owning a timeshare allows you to transfer to someone else if you wish or rent out your week. I've just sold my timeshare and have now managed to pay off a couple of loans.
With this fantastic FREE holiday membership I'm now laughing! cos now I only have to pay the maintenance fee to go towards the upkeep of these luxury accomodations.
Club Seasons DO NOT operate on points. They are similar, yes, but are not exactly the same.
I would read up on the website carefully and ring the member services up if you really don't understand. Why pay attention to people who 'assume' they know it all when they obviously don't.
I also picked up 3 different luxury brochures from Thomas Cook (minimum of 4*) cos the Club Seasons is at least a 4*, and you know what? It will cost me more, even WITH the maintenance. And I have NO booking fee whilst reserving my holidays with Club Seasons. Wherease with the other timeshare company, I had to pay a minimum fee.
How I see it, and from experience. If I don't like it, I'll sell it and get my maintenance money back. Why are you complaining when you've got FREE membership to luxury accomodation and it's still transferable and you can sell it privately and make some money anyway? The only money you would have lost is the maintenance. Yeah it may not be totally free but the accomodation itself is, the upkeep of it, isn't. Simple as that.
We complain when we win something, then we complain when we don't!!! And at least it's not one of those DODGY 0906 numbers charging you the earth to hang on!! I've spoken with them a few times already and have studied their resorts and already planning my holidays.
I'll have your free membership if you don't want it! You can sell it to me for free if you like : -)))0
