What is the difference in buying a resale timeshare and buying a new timeshare week?
A. When you purchase a timeshare from the developer you will be paying for all of the marketing that has been done to sell the timeshare. Buying resale you will generally have a savings of 50% or more. You must make sure that you are getting the same benefits when you buy resale. Occasionally there are programs like the Marriott program where you do not get to take advantage of their rewards program. At this point you must make ad decision if the “rewards” part of the program is worth several thousand dollars to you. You will still be able to use the Marriott week as a week for use and exchanging in the exchange system and within the Marriott system.
