Timeshare vs Discounted Travel

Timeshare vs discounted travel? What is the difference? Let me sum up our experience.


Tom and I just just returned from Orlando Fl on our second honeymoon. WOW, what a time we had after 22 years of being married to find time to get away and save money at the same time. We were able to do this by using our lifetime discounted travel membership with Coastal Vacations. As owners of this membership we can travel the world at short notice or plan it in advance for pennies on the dollar. We have rented homes, stayed in hotels for room taxes only and this latest trip was at the Radisson Worldgate Resort. We paid $42 a night where others were paying $118. That included taxes. For our 5 night stay we saved $381.


Timeshare vs discounted travel facts here we come! This resort had a timeshare presentation we listened to. We have friends who own timeshares and are trying to sell them. We wondered why. This timeshare would include the initial investment (our example was 26,000), and maintenance fees (anywhere from $300 to $800), and a booking fee (per vacation). Over a 30 year period you could easily spend upwards of $60,000 or more . Typically, you had only 1 or 2 weeks of vacation at the same resort chain. Not too many places to see. That also depended on how many points you purchased and how many you use per year. You could always buy more but then again that will cost more. We were glad to have a membership with no maintenance fees, we can pass it on to our kids, and take as many vacations in one year that we want anywhere in the world saving thousands of dollars over a lifetime. We had chosen well with our membership to Coastal Vacations.


We cannot wait to use the new Fly and Stay to an all inclusive resort in Mexico for $125 per person. The board of directors are always adding to this membership with new vacations twice a year at no additional cost. Once again saving us money. We have also used the golf card for 2 for1 green fees, the dining card for buy 1 get one free, and the $1000 shopping gift certificate ($6.95 cost to you) for gifts (Christmas is coming). Oh and theme parks discounts too. Timeshare vs discounted travel? We were seeing lots of "options" with our membership. No shopping or dining discounts with timeshares.


"Where else can we save like this?" is what we ask ourselves often. We look forward to using more vacations and seeing new places with the family. Stay tuned for the next vacation news. Our goal is to share this information with as many people as we can so they can travel the world and save thousands instead of spend thousands.

If you are looking to save lots of money and enjoy a lifetime of discounted travel, shopping, and adventures you do the research.
