If you are considering the purchase of a timeshare for your personal or family vacations, and you are attracted to a timeshare because of the luxury condo-type amenities that most timeshares offer, I would like to give you some additional information before you make that plunge and spend your hard earned money. I will also then give you the straight facts on a "no-brainer alternative" to a timeshare purchase, one that will save you big money, lots of headaches, and will instead provide you greater value, lifelong benefits and unparalleled flexibility.
Here are the straight facts concerning timeshare purchase and ownership -
There are two basic types of timeshare purchase and ownership, traditional and points based. Traditional ownership offers a single timeshare property with the option to use it for a specific week during the year, and changes add to the cost. This type limits you to the same location, year after year, for your vacations. With points based timeshare ownership, you are purchasing points or "currency" to redeem for access to a variety of resort locations and accommodations, so you can choose when and where to travel, and for how long. Traditional timeshare ownership typically ties the buyer to a specific resort at a specified time interval, but many traditional timeshare companies do offer exchange programs allowing owners to trade their weeks for other locations.
With each type of traditional timeshare, there are also two options: certificate ownership and deeded ownership. With certificate ownership, you enter into a "right to use" contract for a pre-determined number of years. (Certificate ownerships are most common with properties located outside of the US.) With deeded ownership, you own the property indefinitely for as long as you want, for the specified week(s) purchased. This latter type can be passed to your heirs.
The major drawbacks with both traditional and points based timeshare ownership are limited locations, large upfront costs, and then recurring or ongoing costs and fees for upkeep and maintenance. There are also real estate taxes you will be responsible for with deeded timeshare ownership. Upfront costs to get in to your timeshare now range from $15,000 to $85,000.
Here are the straight facts concerning the "no-brainer alternative," the Global Resorts Network (GRN) membership -
A Global Resorts Platinum Lifetime membership will cost you $2,995.00. This is a one time cost. There are absolutely no ongoing costs or fees, ever. Your membership gives you unlimited access to a registry of five to six thousand luxury resorts worldwide, all available to you at a discount of 50% to 90% off the retail booking price. Prices for GRN members start at $298.00 per week and never exceed $699.00 per week for these luxury resort destinations. Many of these are the same luxury timeshare properties offered by timeshare sales companies. Discount luxury cruises are also available with your GRN membership.
A Global Resorts Platinum membership is good for life and is also willable to your heirs. There are no restrictions or blackout dates, you can travel whenever and wherever you want. The properties and destinations with the GRN membership are not the leftover, bottom of the barrel bookings. They are the same high quality destinations and resorts you would get if you booked them retail through any of the online agencies such as Travelocity or Expedia.
Global Resorts Network was started by former timeshare sales professional, Al Morales in 2007. The exclusive membership offered, however, has actually been sold outside of GRN since 1986 for more than three times the price through GRN. Resorts and cruises can be either booked online or via an 800 number and are backed by one of the industry's best customer support services.
For you entrepreneurs - as an affiliate with Global Resorts Network, you can earn $1,000 commissions from every GRN Platinum membership sale. You can earn the same $1,000 commissions for referral sale also. The cost to become an affiliate with Global Resorts Network is $100.00 per year.
