Someone calls you out of the blue with an AMAZING way to make money from your timeshare?

Your alarm bells should already be ringing.

The pitch may be:

“Rent your bonus weeks!”

“We have buyers!”

“We can monetize your unused Interval certificates!”

Then, magically, the way THEY make YOU money starts with...YOU PAYING THEM MONEY UPFRONT.

TUG’s golden rule for more than 30 years:

Never pay a large upfront fee to do anything with your timeshare.

Follow that rule and you’ll avoid 100% of the scams targeting owners.

One of the oldest timeshare scams around still works because the pi...

1,500 TIMESHARE BUYERS. FULL REFUNDS.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LkrKNzkpXHI

TUG just hit an absolutely incredible milestone.

We have now documented 1,500 people who bought a timeshare, found TUG while they could still cancel, learned about resale, rescinded their purchase and received a FULL REFUND.

Together, those confirmed stories represent more than $25 MILLION back in owners' pockets.

And these are only the people who actually came back and told us what happened.

TUG isn't here to convince people that timeshares are bad.

We're here to make sure buyers know the facts before committing tens of thousands of dollars to something they may be able to buy resale for pennies on the dollar—or even FREE.

1,500 very expensive mistakes undone.

And counting.

Calling a timeshare an “investment” is like saying you invested in your DoorDash dinner.

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/ybT7CamwPxA

You bought something to use and enjoy.

A timeshare can be a great vacation tool.

But something selling resale for pennies on the dollar — or free — is not an investment.

Bought a timeshare on vacation over the weekend?

Then here’s your Monday reality check:

You signed a contract to pay tens of thousands of dollars too much for something other owners are willing to give away for FREE.

That “amazing vacation deal” usually looks a lot less amazing once you’re home, unpacked, and no longer trapped in a sales room with free drinks and fake urgency.

And now the clock is ticking.

⏰ You only get a few short days to cancel.

Not “after you think about it.”
Not “after the salesperson calls you back.”
A few short days.

So if you’re feeling even a little sick about what you signed:

Read your contract. Find the rescission instructions. Follow them exactly. Act FAST.

Their kids don’t ask when they get to visit Disney.
They LIVE there. 😂
