Krystal is a big Fraud!! (by Joy Wood Lewis):

We had a big mess with Welk Resorts (which over all is a very reputable company) and found that Credit Card companies do not cover something such as this. We were very fortunate that the head of the Sale Dept at Welk Resorts listened to our concerns and worked on our behalf to resolve the situation. I can tell ANYONE from experience that buying into a timeshare with the intent to rent out weeks is not a good option. Even with the beautiful resorts owned by Welk and plenty of status in our trading/reserving level, we have trouble getting the weeks rented out that we don't use. Rarely does it come even close to covering the maintenance fees! So don't get suckered in by any Salesman saying you can buy or upgrade, then rent out the weeks to cover your costs. NOPE. It really doesn't work like that unless you want to spend a lot of time and resources to "peddle" your extra points/weeks. Besides if you really need more weeks to use, it is MUCH less costly to buy here on RedWeek than to buy during a Sales Presentation!

FYI....don't bother trying to use TripAdvisor's rental website "FlipKey" or "TripAdvisor Holiday Rentals". It is very confusing and the customer service is awful.
