I’ve been hearing some sad stories lately. As the holidays approach, I get more and more interested in what is going on in the homes of individuals. After all, it’s easy to make sweeping generalizations, and often they’re true. It’s true that most timeshare salesmen are liars. It’s true that most timeshare owners want out. But what about the individuals?
I went on a mission to find out. And what I found w

As Christmas draws closer, timeshare companies ramp up their ads to draw in new owners. Experience Christmas abroad! they advertise, hoping to draw in new owners who don’t yet know better. Give the gift of vacation! they insist, and despite all the rampant scams and better advice not to, you start to consider it.
This year at Direct Transfers we’re hoping to save your holidays. We know that nothing will crush t

In my recent exposition on lies timeshare companies are telling, I stumbled across one of the most shocking of all. Many timeshare companies are bragging about how much cheaper they claim it is to vacation with them instead of an average travel company.
When I first heard this, I started laughing. Working with Direct Transfers has opened my eyes to how truly expensive timeshares are, so I couldn’t even begin to a

Timeshare companies are famous for lying, and Direct Transfers is famous for catching them at it. It’s not that we’re anti-timeshare; we’re just against people being lied to, cheated, and having their money stolen from them under the pretense of a “good vacation.” After all, we believe a good vacation is one that doesn’t cost you your savings account.
One of the more detrimental lies they tell is that y

I mentioned in my last post that timeshare lies are mind boggling. One of the most interesting ones to me is the gifts they offer “free of charge”. What’s interesting to me about gifts that are supposed to have no strings attached is exactly how many strings they have attached.
Common gifts include free vacations, gift cards, even discounts or free trips to popular amusement parks. But let’s not be mistak

In all my time working with Direct Transfers it’s never failed to amaze me how timeshare companies refuse to tell the truth. In fact, more often I’m stunned at the lies they’re able to pass. Lying infuriates me, but sometimes I’m just in plain shock at what these companies can say compared to what the truth actually is. It boggles the mind.
In fact, if you simply look at a list of what timeshare companies c

Earlier this week I talked about how hard it was to get in to your timeshare. For many people, booking a room at the timeshare resort they’ve paid for is a little like pulling teeth – hard, painful, and seemingly impossible to the average person. But if getting in to a timeshare is hard, getting out of one is a disaster.
In the first sales presentation most consumers see, they’re assured that getting out

I was thinking about responding to customers the other day. Not personally – I like to think that I have a great background of always being responsive. But companies today often make a big deal out of being very responsive to customer complaints and praises. In fact, it seems that these days, you can’t just hear your customer’s opinions – you have to do something about it.
Companies all over the wor

Timeshare companies claim a lot of things. They claim that they make financial sense, that they’re cheaper than regular vacations, that they’re easy to get in to and easy to get out of, that you’ll enjoy your time with them. At Direct Transfers we’ve seen too many opposite stories to believe that’s true.
One of the major things timeshare companies claim is that it’s easy to book your vacation at your ti
