I’ve gotten good at saving keeping my costs lower because I don’t want to buy more unless I have to buy more. I thought I would share some of the ways I save money. The bottom line is that I work hard to find ways to save vs. just buying more. I guess I like a good deal.
I practice booking places I want to go and I look for patterns. I find that often excess inventory is put into the exchanges about four months out from arrival. I also notice Patterns when different Timeshares over discounts within their timeshare system so I can book a trip for half the points (or even less). I leverage the Marketing programs (Encore, VIP, Party Weekends, and more). I find that it is sometimes cheaper to book in an exchange than directly within a timeshare program and I believe the marketing teams are looking for non owners to visit the locations.
