In addition to those fees, the timeshares I looked into all had yearly maintenance fees of at least $800 per year. When it was all added up I was spending about $2500 per week with the fees and travel expenses. I've been able to locate vacation packages online that are in that price range and you aren't limited to what's available in the exchange bank and there are usually perks in travel agent deals that you don't get anywhere else.

I went to Hard Rock Hotel in Orlando and booked it through Liberty Travel. It wasn't available in the exchange bank, and I got upgraded to the club level floor and was given 2 extra days for free. All because I booked less than a month before the actual travel date.

I had the best luck with the timeshare by traveling in the off-seasons.
