Time share

¿ Legit ? Yes this practice of inviting prospective buyers to stay a couple nights is legit, and it is a common industry practice, but the "free-stay" come-on has been diminishing over the years. Properties offering "free-stay" are typically higher end resorts. The units offered, if not all the units, are usually defined as "fractional ownership" instead of being classified as "time-shares". Fractionals are typically quarter-shares, sometimes 1/12 shares - meaning you purchase ownership in blocks of one or three months. Traditional time-shares are sold by the week, and some chains use some kind of point system. Do your research - due-diligence - or you'll get screwed by time-shares.
