There are many reasons why people can feel like timeshares are a scam. I don’t necessarily disagree with how people feel. In some cases people made a decision based on lies or they made a purchase that wasn’t big enough to be useful, or they didn’t ever learn how to use the timeshare. All of these outcomes could make someone feel like timeshares are a scam.
People like me try to provide support for people who want to learn how to best leverage any purchase of a timeshare. No system is perfect and this includes all timeshares. I just know for me I have saved money using my timesahres vs. having rented hotels, airbnb’s or timeshares. But that wasn’t without effort. Each person has to decide if it is worth the effort.
