Note: These examples are based on yearly vacations consisting of seven nights in a hotel and one-two weeks at a timeshare resort, depending on the season and destination. While the examples use weeks to illustrate how much vacation you might expect to receive, many timeshare owners have the flexibility to take weekend getaways and two-, three- and four-day vacations during the week. How much vacation you receive through your timeshare depends on how you vacation and the amount of credits/points/intervals you own.

But timeshares aren't just about saving money compared to hotel rooms. They are about getting more for your vacation dollars - and that's a savings, too! Timeshares are about having spacious, well-appointed condo-style accommodations with the comforts of home, making your vacations more enjoyable. And timeshare vacations often provide families a resort experience with onsite or nearby activities like golf, swimming, tennis, boating, skiing, dining, and planned activities for adults and children.

Timeshares are also very flexible. With today's points-based timeshare programs, you determine when you want to vacation and how much vacation currency you want to spend. Today's timeshare owners aren't limited to the seven-day blocks of vacation that many people associate with traditional timeshares. You can customize your vacations and tailor your purchase to meet your unique needs - whether you are single, a couple just starting out, or a family with children, you can choose from studio suites to four-bedroom units, and from weekend getaways to week-long retreats.

Plus, timeshares can stay in your family. You may be able to pass your timeshare along to your children, allowing them and their families to have affordable and flexible vacations in the future.
