Timeshare Tuesday Recap: Week 28, 2026

Topic number one.

Are you winding up or ramping down your timeshare ownership? Now, I want to say that is almost like a bell curve.

There are people that, you know, you have a Web site that's very unique.

It's been around for three plus decades.

You kind of see run the entire gambit between, you know, Of that course, people can spend their entire lives in 30 years, much less their adult lives.

So you just have just a wide selection of vacation ownership and vacation travelers.

And so you see, you know, people run the entire the entire lifetime for their time here, not their own lifetime, but vacation.

Starting off at Timeshare Ownership and discovering Tug and discovering the resale market and discovering how to truly maximize your vacation dollar leads you to buy more resale timeshares.

If you thought it was a good deal paying 10 or 20 or 30,000 bucks for it from the resort, then you find Tug and realize that there's an unlimited market for timeshares that are free or pennies on the dollar for the exact same ownership that you paid full price for.

People get sucked into that.

They love the ability to own timeshares and use them the way that the sales presentation probably laid out that they should be used without that staggering upfront fee cost.

So, you know, you find plenty of people that, you know, have multiple times years, five times years, 10 times years, or constantly add to the number of points that they have over their ownership or buy in multiple systems to, to, because, you know, Hey, Hilton's great, but I also like my Wyndham resorts and I can get Wyndham points for free and, and, you know, certainly maximize my vacations and pay and maintenance fees in two systems.

If I'm taking, if I'm truly using these, timeshares like they were meant to be used and taking multiple vacations every year.

Thus, you're getting your value out of your maintenance fee.

So people see value in having multiple timeshares.

I saw conversations in there, people, you know, 10, 15, 20 separate timeshare ownerships.

And as long as you're the sort of person who can plan all that out, and I'm sure every single one of us knows Someone who is in that situation loves to do that.

That's the way they live.

That's what they love to do.

Seeing someone start with one timeshare that they may have bought full price, which is very, very common on Tug, and buy three or four or five more on the resale market and enjoy years of vacation travel with their family.

And now you get to the point of your life where that's too much to deal with or you no longer want to be that sort of detailed person.

organized planner for five, six, seven, eight vacations a year and you start whittling it down and eventually you go down to zero.

Every single person at some point, every timeshare owner has to discover or decide what you're going to do with your timeshare when it's time to no longer travel anymore.

Uh, you know, if you're the person who's going to travel until you got, you know, two feet in the grave, uh, you know, you can use your timeshare right up to that point.

But most people, uh, you know, decide at some point in their lives that, uh, you know, vacation travel just isn't for them, whether it's, you know, health, whether it's a loss of a spouse, whether it's, you know, inability to fly, you don't do like to drive long distances or, you know, where vacation travel is no longer, it, it becomes more of a burden than it does, uh, you know, a, a way to relieve stress, uh, and, and have a happy, experience.
