Timeshares, those vacation condos you share one or two weeks a year, sound and look good on paper. In theory, you pay only a fraction of what you'd pay for a lifetime's worth of lodging at a hotel. If you've ever been to one of those hard-sell, high-pressure sales pitches you know what I'm talking about. As said before, the concept sounds good until you have to belly-up the typical $15,000 and the ubiquitous fees like another $750 for maintenance. That's a lot to fork over just for a week's vacation in paradise every year. When that kind of money is involved you can be sure there's a fair share of con artists and fraudsters around. In fact, the Better Business Bureau says, "problems associated with the timeshare industry have escalated by 40% in the last twelve months." Almost ten thousand complaints registered in Florida alone.

When you've realized you've made a mistake and want out of your timeshare there's crooks waiting for you on that side of the transaction, too. Now, less than honest salespeople are the exception rather than the rule, but ten thousand complaints from just one state is something to consider. What these high commissioned salespeople won't tell you is many of those same condos are available to you for as little as $100 for a week.

I'm about to reveal to you a secret of the industry few know about. Something your timeshare salesperson hopes you never find out. There's 52-weeks in a year. Not all of those weeks are sold. So the owners of those condos put them up for grabs through special agents. Depending on time of booking, you can get a luxury condo for as little as $100 for the week. The same condo you'd pay $15,000 for through traditional timeshare channels.

Now, instead of being stuck with just 1 timeshare property, you can purchase a LIFETIME vacation membership for a minimal, ONE-TIME purchase, ordinarily from $697 – $5997. This allows you to stay at 1000's of various hotel and resort locations around the world. Already you're able to see that vacation clubs offer tremendous value for such a cheap price tag.

A travel membership permits you to stay at three, 4, even 5 star vacation spots, for as little as just a couple $100 per week. Some travel memberships even have a ‘Weekly Specials' choice where you can get travel deals around the planet, time and again for as little as one hundred dollars per WEEK. And that price is not for one person, they are for the ROOM.

With the quantity of Resort, Hotel and Condo deals available, you'll in no way run out of exciting new locations to go to see…And that's only the half of it. Travel clubs let you take several holidays per year. Some even let you take luxury vacations, with no black out dates…EVERY YEAR.

What's the catch? There is none, really. Your price ranges from $100-$400 depending on when you book. Last minute is cheaper. You're limited to what's available but you have over two million bookings to choose from each year.

There's searchable databases on the Internet. No slippery-tounged salespeople to deal with. No

maintenance fees. Or long-term commitments. Just book it, go and enjoy.

Hmm, $15,000 or $100. Easy choice isn't it? Now you know.
