What is a Timeshare?
Timeshares were originally set up to split real estate among people for specific shares of time. The deed was typically split between some 52 shares for each week of the year. People bought these deeds and were entitled to use the unit and common areas for a specific timeframe each year, hence the name. These deeds were owned by the timeshare owners and they created an interest in the property. Now timeshares work drastically different, unless you own a 20+ year old timeshare it is likely that what you were told by resort staff has nothing do with ownership of land, property, or even a specific resort room, or week of the year.
How do Timeshares Work now?
In recent years timeshares have a sham deed where you cannot stay at the very resort/room/week printed on the sham deed. Timeshares now are nothing more than contractual terms in a point-based room reservation system. To compensate for this sham system many companies have taken to using names other than Timeshare. You might have heard them called Interval Ownership, Travel Clubs, Vacation Ownership Clubs, or Resort Groups, all to get around the fact that they generally do not sell deeds. The way these contracts work now is that the owner buys a contract into a resort company and their contract gives them a certain amount of points/credits/time that they can use for booking each year. These often come with banking or carry over systems that may allow points to be moved between unused years. The way the contract actually plays out is like payment for a service. You spend your points, and the resort system will then attempt to set you up in their various locations that they either own or book in. Often this booking is not done in-house but instead outsourced to a booking company. There are several companies RCI (Resort Condominiums International), or II (Interval International) that do these bookings for most resorts.
List of Timeshare Companies
Below you will find a list of some of the major timeshare developers, travel clubs, resort groups, vacation ownership clubs, interval ownership and booking companies. Many resorts now will add in buffer words to try and disguise their nature. Be wary of things like Ski Resort, Beach Resort, Theme Park Resort, Golfing Resort or Casino Resort that can all work under the same type of point system. They may be trying to sell themselves as something separate, but they are the exact same timeshare companies. What they sold you about a timeshare is likely not what you ended up signing. Our attorneys have been doing timeshare law for over 20 years and we know the games these resorts play.
