Exchanging $902 for $1,469

9/25/2015

 
Because we have family staying in the Palm Springs area the first week of November, we wanted to join them for the week.  We already had a week deposited with Interval International (Week 52 at the Welk Resorts, Escondido), so we called Interval to place a request for the Palm Springs area using this deposited week as our trade credit.  Interval did not have any inventory immediately available, so we placed a request and crossed our fingers.  A week later, we received an email confirming that an exchange had been made for a 2BR villa at the Marriott Shadow Ridge Enclaves in Palm Desert.  We were excited because not only is this a beautiful resort, but we also knew that we got great value for our exchange, as demonstrated below.

As I mentioned above, we used our ownership of a Lawrence Welk timeshare to reserve Week 52 at the Welk Resorts, Escondido.  The 2015 maintenance fee for this week was $902.  The maintenance fees and club dues for the week 44 at the Marriott would have cost us $1,469.  That's obviously a great deal, exchanging $902 for $1,469, but it gets even better when you consider that if we did not use timeshare, and just booked a week using Marriott's online reservation system, the cost would have been $2,150!  By using timeshare, we effectively cut our costs by 60%!  And the truth is that had we not owned timeshare, we never would have paid $2,150 in lodging expenses to make this trip happen.  So either we would not have gone at all (most likely), or we would have stayed somewhere more "affordable" (meaning, not nearly as nice as the Marriott).
