[ 2012 ] How Many Timeshares Do You Own?

[DaveNV]

We own too many as well. You can see by looking at the list under our username:
<-----------

We own two Marriott Willow Ridge Plat lock-offs
Several SBP, both 2 beds and 2 bed lock-offs
Only one EOY SDO
Two Foxrun
Five Val Chatelle
Two Twin Rivers
RCI Points
DVC Points
Shell Points (12,225 per year)
Wyndham Points
Couple of Pono Kai
Hono Koa oceanfront
Sands of Kahana
And a few others

Cindy, you amaze me. How do you keep it all straight? I struggle with only 3.

So when you vacation with your girlfriend on your other timeshare weeks, you tell your fiancee you're traveling on business?

LOL. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

One is enough to deal with.

My wife and I own three.

there...Ive figured out how to answer the question without lying.

My wife and I own three weeks, converted to 385000 Wyndham points...She knows I have more, and so do you guys, but not how many...

As Michael said in the Godfather..."Dont ask me about my business"

 

[DebBrown]

We own 5 weeks at 3 resorts. My 2 Villa del Mar weeks are RTU expiring in 2015. I think 3 will be a better number for us at this stage of our lives. In the past few years, we've taken more trips to non-ts locations. I'm also finding it harder to plan ahead with my kids grown. I can no longer plan on everyone taking a spring break trip two years in advance.

But Ron, enquiring minds want to know!

Actually, I meant my OP question for those who have timeshares for their personal use, not for business guys like you. But I'll admit, since you brought it up, I'm now VERY curious.

Cute. Keeping secrets already. You're ready for marriage.

Zero - we sold all of them and started traveling to Europe. Once I get better, we may buy one of the used market since they are so cheap.

 

[taffy19]

4 timeshares but 5 weeks every year. Use them all.

 

[zcrider]

1.5

1 Hyatt week (2BR Plat) in San Antonio TX that we use
1 every other year Marriott in Branson (2 BR Plat.) we trade with

When we first started timesharing we worked II to the max and got lots of weeks a year in 1 BR and studios and hit a lot of locations. Currently our desires have changed, so we book our weeks to just use 2 weeks a year in a 2BR and bring family or friends with us. I like that we have the flexibility to go big or small, lots or little depending on our current desire and don't over own in TS weeks/MF's. I love my TS's!

 

[SMRgirl]

Just two but love them both. Just hop on 75 and go to Tree Tops in TN or Umbrella Beach on Anna Maria Island, FL.

 

[MFT]

Have 3 Wyndham, all points, so combine the points to book 1 - 3 weeks a year, depending on season, etc...

 

[gnorth16]

Two down from four. I can leverage my RCI week into 4 or 5 weeks per year if I play my cards right.

Still sad that I sold my Starwoods. The II priority is great, but not enough time to travel between the family, work, school and other commitments.

 

[pedro47]

Only two (2) now down from three (3). We will not purchase any more t/s in the future.

 

[Jennie]

Not enough--only 19

6 Ft Lauderdale Beach Resort--our"snowbird home"
All are 2 bedroom lock-offs in prime season.
Some are fixed/deeded and some are in RCI
Points. We often times deposit the studios for
exchanges.

3 summer weeks Cape Cod--2 bedroom-same unit.

2 summer weeks on the beach near Atlantic City

4 Wyndham weeks (2 fixed and 2 in Points)

2 in Delray Beach Florida (May-June) same unit--
low maintenance fees, great trades via pfd

1 totally "garbage week" that is un-sellable but
yielded many great vacations for years until
Wyndham changed all the rules. Oh well, I add
the TPUs to other weeks to get some value.

1 Pueblo Bonito. prime Spring break week--rented
same family for the past several years rather
than pay the rip-off transfer fee to sell it to them
Our ownership expires in 2016.


Hubby and I use many weeks ourselves. Our grown daughters fight over which summer weeks they want. We do make them cover the maintenance fees which are reasonable (in the low $600. range).

We rent about 5 weeks per year to others and that offsets some of the costs for what we use.

Every week was bought on the resale market from companies like Holiday Group (R.I.P) and ERA, and via Ebay auctions.

Our first week was purchased in Orlando 1994 at a timeshare presentation. As soon as we got home we found TUG and rescinded.

One. Marriott Desert Springs II.

 

[Dandc3]

1/3

One: Vacation Village @ Parkway. A Triennial, so it really counts as 1/3.
Looking for one more good trader.
2 Will max us out!

Well, technically I do own ONE right now but the developer will receive my rescission letter today.

I'm so thankful I did some research and found this forum in time to rescind.

I'm currently trying to learn as much as I can on here so that I can make an informed decision on what and when to buy my "first" timeshare.

Thank you all for this site and for all of your help!

 

[oceanvps]

Wasn't sure if we were counting systems or contracts?
I said 3

Ebay Resales
2 Worldmark Contracts, 1 7K annual and the other 5K annual
2 EOY Vacation Internationale Contracts. 1 odd, 1 even, 1 expires 2034 and other 2041

Given to me by a fellow tugger - yay him!
1 - 2 Bedroom Marriott Canyon Villas EOY Gold Season

I'm guessing that TUGgers skew towards owning more than the average TS owner. I'm also guessing that TUGgers exchange more than average.

We own two. One is EY the other is EOY. In the process of another. That one is EY fixed. This last one is the one we originally wanted. And I'm so happy we got it. Hope everything goes through smoothly. If we had gotten it a year ago we wouldn't have the first two. But we do, so we will use them. They are both very low MF so it's no worry there. They're all in the same area (So Cal) and they all have day use so we can stay at one but enjoy the facilities of another.

 

[Ridewithme38]

I own Two:

One Wyndham Fixed week 27, Every Year, which i exchange every year in RCI for 2-4 vacations.
One Starwood, Fixed/Floating week 34, Every other year, which i try to use mostly.

BUT, i'm soon hopefully going to also own some Wyndham points, if i can figure out how to make it make financial sense. It's hard to financially justify more timeshares when my one fixed week 27 can get me more Vacations in RCI then i can use.
