If you love to travel you can appreciate just how expensive travel has become. As an avid traveler, my family and I have been to many beautiful vacation spots but our travel budget was starting to diminish rapidly. We knew we wanted to continue to travel and our favorite places to stay were timeshare properties.
It was time to look for a few cheap USA timeshare properties that still offered the high quality of lodging we were used to. We couldn't always afford to use our timeshare.
We were always led to believe that you had to own a timeshare in order to make use of one. If you didn't own it, you had to pay high prices to rent them from timeshare companies or even directly from timeshare owners. I know the cost of timeshares as I have owned two. My first one cost me around $15,000 plus yearly maintenance fees and my second one just under $60,000 with no maintenance fees. Those timeshares were not considered to be cheap USA timeshare properties. Instead, they became and still are a financial burden in many ways.
My present timeshare is excellent, but very very costly. It allows me to travel wherever I want but I either have to pay exchange fees or all inclusive fees which are very expensive. The all inclusive fees are not optional and they have to be paid to the resort directly. They range in price from $1700 for the week to $4,000 on average and that was on top of the $60,000 I paid for my timeshare. My exchange fee with RCI which is the exchange company for my present timeshare is about $186.00 right now, so every time I want to travel to another place outside of my resort, I have to pay my exchange fee.
I have enjoyed my timeshares tremendously and was proud of myself for making what I thought was such a great deal. . .that is until, in my research, I came across Global Resorts Network.
What is Global Resorts Network and how do they provide cheap high quality USA timeshare properties? GRN is a membership travel club and the way it works is this. You join as a member at one of two levels, either lifetime which is a 100 year membership that can be passed along in your will or a three year membership where you get to travel for greatly discounted rates for three years with the option to upgrade.
Once you join Global Resorts Network you are eligible to travel to any of the 5,000 resorts that they offer, not only in the USA, but worldwide. The majority of these resorts are 4 and 5 star resorts. I know the quality of several of them because I have traveled to at least 5 of the resorts that they offer. Some of the resorts may even be in your own state which would be great if you just wanted a quick get away. The membership provides you with a full service travel agency to assist you in booking your resort. In addition, if you want discounts on airfare, cruises, and hotel/motel stays anywhere in the world, you have access to those discounts.
Did I mention that you can travel to these cheap high quality timeshare properties as many times per year as you want and you can take a guest for the same discounted prices?
This membership makes a great gift for anyone you know who likes to travel and makes a great family gift because you will be able to spend more time traveling and less time worrying about your travel budget. The up front payment may seem a bit steep but if you go to the website and find out more information, you will see that all you have to do is take two vacations and your savings will just about be equal your initial membership fee. Plus, if you visit the link at the end of this article, and ask for more information, you will learn about a little secret that will reward you over and over again.
As a member, here are two examples of cheap high quality timeshare properties in the USA that my family and I have access to right now.
