One of the common promises told at a timeshare presentation is that timeshares are easy to swap. Know the most popular exchange companies and how they work

When being at a timeshare presentation, you are likely to be told many fake promises in order to make you buy a timeshare.

This becomes a hardcore brainwash operation, and many people fall for it.

One of the most commonly lies told at a timeshare presentation is that you can trade your timeshare location for other different destinations around the world; timeshare reps use this promise as part of their sales tactics to make the deal more attractive.

Although this is not completely false, the truth is that timeshare exchange is not easy at all.  

With the expectation to travel all over the world, many families end up buying a timeshare.

Unfortunately, this is not frequently the case, and it can even be more difficult than it’s worth.

There are lots of timeshare owners who have been trying to trade their holiday ownership for years without a success.

The objective of this article is to explain known the most popular timeshare exchange companies and how timeshare exchange works.

Timeshare Exchange Companies

Timeshare exchange companies are corporations that specialize in timeshare trades.

Customers who buy a timeshare at a resort that is affiliated with an exchange company have the option to exchange their timeshares with other members.

Numerous resorts are affiliated with different exchange companies.

The following are the most famous timeshare exchange companies, with the first two being the world's largest:

How do I exchange my timeshare?

As indicated before, it is not easy to trade your timeshare. Timeshare exchange requires lots of research into every possible swap location.

The availability of many different resorts is almost null, and there must be someone willing to trade his timeshare with yours.

Besides all that, you have to keep in mind that trading a timeshare costs money. Timeshare exchange companies charge an annual membership fee.

This fee can be as little as $15 or as much as $100 per year or more. Also, it is likely that the resorts charge trading fees, which are at least $100.

Sometimes you have to upgrade your timeshare to be able to exchange it, and this will have an extra charge.

If you are a world traveler, you DON'T need a timeshare

Regardless of what the timeshare salespeople say, timeshares are not easy to swap, in fact, it may end up being more expensive than traveling on your own, even if the resort is affiliated with one of the timeshare exchange companies mentioned before.

Timeshares can be a good purchase for those who enjoy traveling to the same spot every year, but they are definitely not for those who enjoy spontaneous travel without several restrictions.

Owing to the difficulty to exchanging their timeshare locations and the expensive annual costs, many timeshare owners decide to get rid of their ownership, yet a vast majority don’t know how to do so.
