Note: that Maintenance fee amounts and points can vary greatly within each system and the entries here are prices/point values one would expect for a high demand, or low demand week long reservation at the majority of resorts within each system. As you can imagine there will always be resorts or locations that fall outside these ranges, this guide is intended to be an apples to apples comparison for the average owner considering buying into any of these systems!
We ALWAYS urge additional research into any timeshare point system before buying and there is a discussion forum on TUG for each and every system listed above to get help and advice from owners in these systems!
