Re: My timeshare is paid in full, but I just don't want it anymore

Steve As a multiple Marriott timeshare owner, I wouldn’t do it. What happens if someone get ills one year, or actually any other life event and you want to skip a vacay there? Also, maintenance fees are not fixed and they can go up anytime, and if they do improvements, you can also get special assessments in the amount of hundreds of dollars (this happened to us at Palm Desert, and the assessment has not gone away). I have used and traded Marriotts for years, but with their acquisition of Sheraton, Wyndham and others, I cannot get the trades I want (putting in requests over a year in advance). They also own Interval International and the cost of fees there has also gone way up. I have enjoyed them for years but now it just difficult and expensive. I am probably going to have to gift them to get rid of them. I am retired and looking to still travel but I want more flexibility. Just my opinion.
