Why Is It So Difficult to Book a Hotel with Your Timeshare?

Schedule your FREE Consultation to CANCEL your TIMESHARE HERE

If you own a timeshare, you've probably had trouble trying to make a reservation, only to find out there’s no availability—even though the resort claims to have multiple locations and flexible dates. But why does this happen?

1. Overselling of Memberships

Many timeshare developers sell more memberships than they can actually accommodate. This means there are more members than available rooms, leading to a shortage of spaces when you try to book.

2. Restrictions and Hidden Rules

When you purchase a timeshare, sales representatives often promise flexibility, but when it’s time to book, you encounter multiple restrictions:

Limited dates during peak season
Booking requirements months (or even years) in advance
Additional fees for certain destinations or room types

3. Priority Given to New Clients and Direct Bookings

Hotels prefer to fill their rooms with potential customers rather than timeshare owners. They already have timeshare members locked in, but new customers represent fresh revenue. In many cases, they prioritize direct bookings for tourists and leave the least desirable dates for timeshare owners.

4. Hidden Costs and Unexpected Fees

Even though you’ve already paid for your membership, you may face extra charges when booking, such as:

Maintenance fees
Exchange fees
Taxes and administrative charges

These additional costs make using your timeshare more expensive than you originally anticipated.

Having Trouble Booking? Consider Canceling Your Timeshare

If you constantly struggle to use your membership and feel like you're not getting the value you were promised, the best option is to cancel it. Continuing to pay for something you can’t use only leads to frustration and unnecessary expenses.
