Timeshare developers continually try to entice potential timeshare owners with lucrative offers to sit through the standard 90 minute presentation.  These offers have ranged from cash, show tickets, events, dinner reservations, free stays, liquor, attractions, etc. 

I have done a lot of these presentations for these types of rewards.  Some are absolutely brutal! I can't lie.  They can be pushy and easily extend the 90 minute presentation for far longer than 90 minutes. 

In contrast, I have also been to extremely laid back presentations where the people were friendly, kind, easy going and we left after 30 minutes with our gift. 

I have been to a number of Hyatt presentations and they are generally very friendly with no high sales pressure.  

​I was recently provided with a very lucrative offer of a 4 days, 3 nights at the Hyatt Wild Oak Ranch in San Antonio, Texas.

This offer is valid for travel through June 30, 2017.  Depending on the time of travel, the one bedroom units usually rent for over $300 per night.  There is no obligation to purchase and even if interested, you need to do your homework before purchasing.  

If you are serious about timeshare ownership, I encourage you to go to as many of these types of presentations as possible to learn about the various programs.  You can then make an educated decision on what program can work best for you. You can also do your research outside of the timeshare presentation to make sure you fully understand the benefits as well as the financial commitment. 

This offer is for 3 nights for $199 total plus 10,000 Hyatt Gold Passport points.  These Hyatt Gold Passport points can get you 2 nights in many Hyatt Place's around the country and is easily worth $200. 

My family loves the Hyatt Wild Oak Ranch.  They have a lazy river, water slides, kids club and various activities.  They also have the fully service Hyatt Hill Country Resort across the street which has more restaurants, golf, activities, tennis, more pools, wave pool, etc. 

There are no shortage of activities. 

As indicated, this may be a targeted offer.   However, you can call the number and give them your information and see what comes up for an offer.  

The number is +1 8‌44.690.2582

There are some eligibility requirements that you need to be aware of:

1. Have an annual income of at least $75,000
2. Be at least 25 years old. 
3. If married, both spouses must attend a timeshare presentation for a minimum of 90 minutes.

An amazing deal has popped up that will not last long.  United and Star Alliance partners are offering amazing deals from Delta hubs.  This includes Detroit, Minneapolis, Salt Lake City and Atlanta.  There could be others but I am posted this quickly so that you can grab this if it works for your schedule.    

These are producing airfares of about $350 per round trip.  Take a look at the deal below.  Momondo is great that will bring up various carriers from multiple sites.  

You can also use Google Flights to find specific dates.  Most carriers have a fee free cancellation for 24 hours after booking so book first as this will disappear shortly.  I will review and post additional availability for some prime timeshares in Europe shortly after this deal.     

Interval International has been running numerous promotions each day.  Some of these have been worthwhile while others have been a pass. 

Today, they are allowing you to upgrade your membership to Platinum for 50%.  This is valid on 1 or 2 year options.  Basically, you can upgrade to Platinum for $49 for one year or for $98 for 2 years. 

This is a solid deal in my opinion.  Platinum members get $50 off Getaways so taking one Getaway in the next 1 years will pay for itself.  In addition, you will receive guest certificates for free instead of the $59 fee. 

I think it is worthwhile to upgrade and there is little downside provided that you will use  the Getaway option. 

I have yet to stay at the Marriott's Newport Coast Villas but it is on my to do list.

This property gets stellar reviews and is located on Newport Coast, California. 

​

As you can see below, there are multiple weeks available for January and February, 2017.  While this is not prime season, this is still a highly desirable property that does not become available very often. Nightly rates through Marriott are over $250 per night.
