Discount Timeshare Rentals For Baby Boomers

Baby boomers do not have to pay top dollar to travel. There are ways to save huge amounts of money. Baby boomers can get great discounts on timeshare rentals without having to buy a timeshare. Want to know the secret? Read on.

Being a baby boomer myself I am always looking for travel bargains. Several years ago I made the mistake of purchasing a very expensive timeshare property in Cancun Mexico. There is nothing wrong with the property. In fact, the Palace Resorts timeshare that I own offers some of the most beautiful properties in all of Mexico.

The mistake and problem came when, after spending thousands of unnecessary dollars, I found out about a travel club membership that offered huge discount timeshare rentals for baby boomers and other discriminating travelers. I could not believe my eyes when I saw that my own timeshare property was part of the membership. It cost me $2998 to join this membership and it cost me $58,000 for my timeshare! This was crazy. I could have taken trips for the rest of my life at huge discounts with the $58,000 I had already spent.

The two main differences between the timeshare that I purchased and this membership is cost and flexibility. Not only did I have to pay to own the timeshare in Cancun, but I also still have to pay the all inclusive fees every time I travel. Those fees range from $1700 per week to $7,000 per week depending on the property I choose. I can travel as many times per year as I’d like, but if I want to stay in my home resort, I need lots of money.

With my new travel club membership, I paid my one time fee of $2998 and every time I want to travel (and I can travel as often as I want), I only pay from $298 for two for the week up to the highest of $799 for the week. Sometimes the properties even allow up to 4 people to travel and these are all coveted timeshare properties! Also, with most timeshare properties you have to travel during a certain week every year to the same property. They don’t all cost what I paid and you can get a timeshare property for $15,000 BUT you will pay maintenance fees either monthly or yearly and those costs can rise at a moment’s notice. The average maintenance fee is between $500 and $700 per year on top of your monthly timeshare payment if you have one.

My family is overjoyed that I joined this membership because now they can travel with me or as my guest. Another exciting benefit is that they know that when I pass away, I will be passing this membership on to them. It’s a 100 year lifetime membership transferrable for a very small fee.

There are huge discount timeshare rentals available for baby boomers if you just know where to look. Other places will include doing a google search, looking on Ebay and visiting vacation rentals by owner, but so far, the travel club membership has offered the very best deals on 4 and 5 star timeshare properties for all types and ages of travelers, including huge discounts on cruises and airfare.
