If you have decided that timeshares are for you or if you already own timeshares, then this video is for you. I have found that by consolidating my ownership into one system, you can leverage all of the features more easily than by having a few points in each system. In my case I have two main systems (Hilton and Worldmark), but I am unusual because I have lived full time in Timeshares for two years. But for most people one timeshare system is enough.

I learned this lesson with Airlines back in the 80's when they first started. I joined a bunch of clubs and flew on any airline based somewhat randomly. I quickly learned that by consolidating my travel on one airline I get more status and perks than flying a whole of different airline companies. The same is true with timeshares.

Learning the timeshare system can take quite awhile. Learning the booking windows , the locations that are almost always full (Hawaii), learning how to save points, convert to hotel points, etc... Learning about the exchange system and the hotel systems associated with your timeshare. All of these take time to figure out. So keeping to one system until you have mastered has a huge advantage of time saving and happiness. This video explains this in great detail.
