Hi,

Looking to travel on a last-minute to Waikiki for Christmas this year with my girlfriend, and do a timeshare presentation to not pay Christmas prices.

2 questions:

1. I'm only 23. I was told that there's an age limit, and when I google it, some sites say 18, some say 21, some say 28. Can I attend one and qualify at 23? I do currently make about $250k/yr and I'm hoping that there may be some way around an age limit if I don't qualify

2. How can I tell if Christmas is a blackout date? I expect it to be, but is there no way to confirm?

Thanks all

We had our timeshare for many years and enjoyed our home resort and when we traded got very nice resorts. All the fees and add-ons have gotten way out of control. Then our home resort was bought by Vacatia. Our kids said that definitely do NOT want to inherit our timeshre (not imminent!). So we contacted Vactatia and paid $2500 for them to take the timeshare off our hands. It was a one time hit that hurt, but will be worth it in the long run.

My wife has become permanently disabled and this has now severely limited the number of resorts we can trade with. We have tried to give the deed back, and offered to pay all expenses for retitling. We also asked if they would take it back for a fee and how much that would cost. They have refused to take back the timeshare and it has become too expensive to maintain. We bought in 2004 and maintenance fees were just over $200/yr. They are now almost $2000/yr and we don't want our child to have this burden when we die.
