Complaint Review: Cedarbrook Club at Killington - Killington Vermont

You can't debate the facts so you try to demonize me and resort to personal attacks by accusing me of being a Timeshare salesman. The desperate act of someone losing an argument is personal attacks. Nice try but I happen to be an Optician.

BTW - Nobody is asking you to ignore anything but nobody has a gun to your head forcing you to buy anything.

"now you have met someone who is satisfied with their purchase"

   So we should just ignore the 6 hour, high pressure sales pitches, the phony contest to get people in the door, and that fact that they tried to convince this poor poster that even his childern would be bound by this rotten deal.  

   Rather than having met a satisfied customer, it seems more likely that I've met a satisfied timeshare salesperson.  :-)))))

now you have met someone who is satisfied with their purchase and besides people who complain about Timeshares usually complain about every purchase they make and are usually fussy people....there are many, many satisfied Timeshare owners.

Like I stated before for $900.00 a year we stay at 4-5 star resorts with 2-3 bedrooms, private balconies and full kitchens and priced out without the Timeshare would be well over $2,000.00.  6 months ago we had to stay at a hotel for a emergency family funeral and paid $850.00 for a SINGLE hotel room for 4 days with NO amenities. 

Timeshares are a value IF and ONLY if you use them every year.

"The fact that the contract is a generation contract which would be passed on to our children was also never mentioned."

   There's no such thing.   This is not the middle ages.  You cannot legally bind your children to an agreement that they had nothing to do with.   

   To the satisfied poster above, I've never met a timeshare owner that didn't regret the purchase.  There's a reason that they need to use mulitple hours of high pressure tactics to get people to sign up for these things.   Trying to convince the original poster that his/her children are bound to the contract, in addition to the Dont try to justify to friends or relatives. warning, not to mention the fake $1000 shopping spree should make it obvious what kind of a business this is.    

We actually own a Cedarbrook Timeshare....(have for 10 yesrs) and although we have never actually stayed at Cedarbrook we do use the associated RCI enchange points program that came with the Timeshare.

Were you offered and given a RCI membership?  It's a small yearly fee which allows you to trade in your Cedarbrook points and use them through their property partners.....there are lots of them...some good, some bad.....although in our experience the good outweigh the bad.

We have managed to stay all over the country....just for the price of the yearly maintenance fees associated with Cedarbrook, the RCI yearly fee (around $125.00) and the exhcange fees (around $200.00).  For under $900.00 we've stayed once year, weekly in 2-3 bedroom condos with full kitchens, living rooms and the last place we stayed at (Hilton Grande Vacations at Sea World) had a hot tub in the master bedroom and we priced it out to be well over $2,500.00 for the week if we hadn't had the time share.

Timeshares are a good value ONLY if you use them every single year.  

I hope you are just confused on how timeshares work because we've had a good experience.
