Thank you for contacting me about renewing our membership with TUG. While
we have enjoyed our time as a TUG member and have found it quite beneficial,
we have recently sold both of our timeshare units and no longer are
timeshare owners. As such we have decided not to renew our membership with
your fine organization at this time. Many thanks for all you have done in
the past and continue to do for timeshare owners. T.B.
I enjoyed the website and found it to have lots of info when we were
exchanging weeks. T.W.

Having been successful in selling our timeshare through TUG classified
ads, we are no longer timeshare owners and have no expectation of returning
to
the fold in the foreseeable future, so we will not be renewing our TUG
subscription. Thank you for the service provided. P.H.
Thanks for doing such a great and inexpensive service! L.S.

your sales listings and thank you very much for the service. M.H.
Dear Bill Rogers, I think T.U.G. is one of the best things I've come
across in my 20+ years of timeshare ownership. I only wish I had connected
with it that long ago M.S.
We have been TUG Members for a long time and have found it to be a very
useful service c.g.
GREAT JOB!!! Thank you for all your hard work and effort on behalf of the
TUG membership!!! Just one more great resource and benefit. I'm thankful to
be a part of this great group of folks. Thanks again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! A.S.
Just wanted to say thanks, because of TUG and great advise from fellow
Tuggers I have now successfully sold a week (at a resort I never thought I
could sell let alone profit $900, and also successfully rented a week. S.S.
TUG is a great site and service for vacation owners. L.P.
TUG is a great organization and has been very helpful to me. C.C
many thanks for all you do for TUGgers. We are indeed a wonderful community,
and your unfailing and dedicated efforts are much appreciated! D.F.
Thanks, and keep up the great job with your excellant website! J.V.
I joined TUG to find a good and trustworthy source of information and people
in order to sell my two timeshares that had become a burden to me. I had no
desire to make money on the timeshares, but just wanted to move them on to
someone else who would enjoy them. Through TUG I was able to find a school
principle who was planning to retire in a couple of years. He and his wife
were looking for affordable timeshares they could use to travel in their
retirement. It was a wonderful fit. TUG members also helped me find someone
to walk us through the paperwork and properly finalize the sale and
transfer. I could not have been happier with my experience with TUG. This is
a great organization with great people and I very much appreciate all the
help you gave to me. R.R.
I LOVE TUG! L.K.
I just wanted to say thanks for TUG! I love everything about it and it has
greatly impacted my vacation experiences. Best Regards, P.V.
I just love the TUG website, I recommend it to all my friends that own
timeshares! C.L.
Thanks once again for serving the timeshare public in a responsible and
efficient manner. This free service will come in handy for all the reasons
it was created and looks promising. I know I can trust you for reviews and
special timeshare owner tips that we all need during these uncertain times,
now I can also try your new service too for secure and attractive options.
GOOD JOB !!!!!! S.M.
first I would like to thank you all for sharing your knowledge with all of
us newbies:-) I am very new , have been studying for the last few days on
tug site and my head is just spinning. U.K.
I got a lot of help and guidance from this board also. There are some really
great people here, and I am happy someone else has indulged in the value of
this site. L.P.
I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who graciously posts such helpful
information. I've been lurking around here for a while - occasionally asking
a question, but generally found most of the information I was looking for
was already here. We've been contemplating some sort of timeshare purchase
for a while - and would have gone down the wrong path had it not been for
all of the information here. We probably would have ended up buying
something in Orlando (thinking it would trade well) buying direct from the
developer (wasn't aware of resale). Anyway, to make a long story short,
we've just bought our first timeshare (interval ownership, actually). We are
stepping into this slowly - so we bought a week at The Royal Caribbean in
Cancun. We rented at The Royal Sands last month and spent some time checking
all of the Royals out. The 10 year lease works well for us - it lines up
with our youngest heading off to college. We got a GREAT deal on a
penthouse beachfront unit. That was only after being flatly rejected by
another seller whose asking price was completely unrealistic - yes, he
thinks that listing prices reflect selling prices. (At least I knew better!)
So after going through the agony of feeling slapped across the face for our
"insulting" offer, we managed to find our new home away from home - at least
one week per year. So, just wanted to say thanks to all of you who helped
me without even knowing it. This is a great resource and I am so glad I
found all of you to save me from myself. Thanks again! M.L.
I wanted to post my story here of the past 4 months of getting to 5*. Before
I do I wanted to say how much I appreciate everyone's help throughout this
process. You are all great! If I hadn't found TUG I would not have been able
to buy the weeks that I got and I would have paid a lot more to get to 5*.
W.S.
Thank you to all the tugger's everywhere,for the terrific help and
information you have given me for my family's( Around the World Trip),in
May/June J.S.
This site has been a great help in learning the process and what to look
for. Thanks to everyone here!! V.B.
I wanted to sincerely thank everyone who provided input for our mega trip to
Maui and San Francisco. We are from the Boston area and this was our first
Hawaii trip and my first to San Francisco. It was one of the top trips of
our lives so far. Your generous input about flights, resorts, activites and
places to eat made this trip to Maui and San Francisco one we will never
forget. P.G.
I am a newbie here - and just in time! My fiancee and I purchased a 2br unit
from the Grandview at Las Vegas for $25k last week. They threw in 4 extra
"bonus weeks" and we travel a lot, so this was very enticing. We were doing
research on these so-called "bonus weeks" and found this site. Upon reading
this forum (day in and day out), we were able to rescind on the last day! We
have always known that we would purchase a timeshare, but never considered
the resale market. I wanted to thank you all so much for sharing your
knowledge and helping others make smarter luxury purchases. We have now
decided an HGVC package would be much better suited to our needs and have
contacted Seth regarding some options. Thanks again! Look forward to
learning more and more on this wonderful site! P.S.
We have sold our timeshare. Thanks for the help and advice on the
website...it really helped while we were selling our unit. D.S.
I just re-upped for 3 years and paid through Paypal. As always TUG is a
great resource filled website and we have made good friends over the years
through the TUG BBS and the TOTUG (Toronto TUG group) B.C.
We have enjoyed the tug site over the past years... Thanks again for all the
hard work on the site. T.G.
Thank you so much for all the time and energy spent making TUG so incredibly
helpful for us. I couldnt imagien making timeshare exchanges without the adi
of TUG. TUG's the lighthouse in the turbulent waters of timesharing! J.T.
Thanks for the past service. It has been excellent D.B.
I have learned so much about timesharing from TUG. Keep up the good work!
S.M.
I sold my timeshare. Your site was instrumental in that sale Thanks. J.N.
We sold our Timeshare about a year ago! Your website helped give me some
reality to our dilemma J.C.
TUG has been a wonderful resource for us. K.L.
thanks for your help i did sell my time share thu this ad. P.M.
Best $25 I could spend -- I've gleaned a ton of info from the TUG site! Thanks for all you do! - B.W.
Just a note to let you know how thankful I am for TUG. I placed an ad to sell my timeshare around the first of June and it sold and whole transaction was completed by September 18. Also JRA Services, Inc., as recommended by TUG, made the whole procedure move along swiftly. - J.W.
I'm a recent member to TUG and have to tell you that I just love it. It is so informative and has helped me make several exchange decisions already. The new BBS is fantastic and it's great to talk to other fellow time-share owners about what and what-not. I'm sure the success of this site is brought on by a lot of hard work and dedication and I just want to say THANKS! Carla Rowell
What a wonderful idea!! I am going to join today.
The information I just received regarding an upcoming exchange is invaluable.
Keep it up! KATHREN A ALBRIGHT
I just wanted you to know how much I appreciate
all of the work that you do at TUG. It is my favorite site and the one that I
visit most often. I have found the information to be extremely helpful. The
information is wonderful and I love being able to talk with people who have
actually experienced the results. Thanks again! Anne
Hi I will not be renewing my membership because I
sold my timeshare last year. Your service allowed me to sell it on my own. It
is a great website. Thanks for the help. Mark Cox
What a SUPER !!!!!!!job on the new web site, it
looks great, easy to understand. I will recommend to all for membership. Thank
you and keep up the good work. It's the best investment (membership) that I
have ever made. Sincerely, Jo Kelly
This ad was successful and I've rented out all my
time for the next two years. So we can drop it now. I have other property that
I will list at a later time. Jim Pivec
Will use this opportunity to thank you for the
great service you provide with TUG. I use it several times a week and find it
tremendous! We've been TS owners for over 12 years and only wish we would have
discovered something like this long ago. I will continue to do my small part
and update the reviews for resorts we visit. Thanks again! Michelle
Testimonial: "I couldn't be happier... I rented 10
weeks in '97 through my ad on this site... I recommend it to everyone I meet."
Pam
Thanks for the response. I understand your
dilemma. What I don't understand is someone who expects something for nothing.
This site has educated me so much on timeshares, and the general public
thinking about making a purchase would benefit greatly from the info contained
here. Thanks again for all of your work. Kathy
All the great TUG info has saved me so much money
and has helped me have some of the best vacations ever! Thank you, thank you,
thank you. Caroline
I have been on your TUG website for the last 2
hours. My husband and I recently purchased our first timeshare. It's
comforting to know that there is support out there from seasoned timeshare
owners, for first-time owners like myself. Thank you so much for this service,
Betty M. Flores
We put an AD on your BB early April and was able
to sell 3 of our weeks almost immediately. The buyers were very pleasant and
it was a pleasure to do business with them. We were able to accomplish our
need and the buyers obtained Timeshares in probably the best property in the
world , in the best location in London, at a very reasonable price. So seller
and buyer's are all happy thanks to "TUG" and Bill Rogers. Thanks for
everything, Sincerely, Michael S. Balbes
Thank you very much for your assistance! And
thanks for doing such a great job with the TUG page. It is really is a super
resource. -- Kendell D. Camp
Bill - Glad to say I have rented the property in
Las Vegas thru TUG. What a great service. If now I can only find the time to
go somewhere. thanks again. Belinda Tomlinson
I do not wish to renew. I sold my timeshare
through your classified so therefore I will no longer need your services. I
had been trying to sell it for the last four years.....then I found you....the
rest is history. Thanks for everything. Bonnie Gruchalski
Hello TUG (Bill): Just a quick note to say THANK
YOU for the Resort Reviews. TUG members saved our butts, big time, the very
first time we reviewed a resort.
We submitted an RCI search 3 months ago. After NO phone calls were returned to
us to advise of possible matches for our vacation destinations, my husband
phoned RCI. He was offered The Cancun Clipper Club, sleeps 6. Great he
thought, but reserved time to check with TUG before confirming. THANK GOD HE
DID ! This resort was rated a 1 - visitors even went without hot water for 1
wk. If we were going camping this would be great, but it wasn't what we had in
mind. We love Mexico (visited it on our 25th anniversary) and wanted to go
back again. My husband phoned back to RCI, said he was a TUG member and
related some of the stories he had read from visitors to The Cancun Clipper
Club, and advised that it was rated a "1". IMMEDIATELY, there were suddenly
two weeks available at The Pueblo Bonito Resort in Mazatlan - rated a "9". One
member mentioned that this resort has been mentioned twice on "Lifestyles of
the Rich & Famous".
A HUGE "THANKS" goes out from us both for this useful resource and it's
members who take the time to submit resort reviews. We'll submit our own
review upon our return home in April. Sincerely, Fran & Joe Hutton
Yes, the ad was successful... I not only rented
the unit... I have people waiting in the wings for other units... Dick
Eckstein.
PS... I have been sending plenty to the site from AOL and Worldnet.... So
subscriptions should have picked up....
Per your suggestion, we are informing you that we
have completed an exchange for our week advertised in the Direct Exchange
section. It read: Week 4, Club International de Cancun....JCollova
It was easy and fun...this is a great service and one that I will be using
much more in the future. Meet a delightful lady in New York who will be
enjoying her first trip to Mexico and we are returning to Orlando to see all
the things we missed before.
Just to let you know, my 2 bedroom unit at Resort
World has been sold. I lowered the price from $3700 to $3200 and that did the
trick. It's also interesting that once the price was right, not only did I get
e-mail inquiries, but for the first time people also called on the telephone
(anxious, I guess).Thanks,Ken Dressner
Thanks for the quick reply. So glad to get the new
TUG password. I go in there to check things out daily and would hate to have
to miss a day. I'll keep the new password handy. Thanks to you and all the
other volunteers for your efforts. You do a terrific job! Thanks again. Carla
Rowell
Subject: Horray!
Thanks so much for creating TUG! I finally have a means of advertising my
timeshare. I have spent tons of hours and dollars just trying to locate a
vehicle to do what you have done. I'm signing up today :) If I can help as a
TUG volunteer, please contact me. Again THANKS. Joseph Carlucci
Greetings!
This is one nifty site. We've been all over it and appreciate all the info.
Thanks too, for the first-time free opportunity to post an ad! Shannon Jensen
Thanks, you are doing a great job. As a new
timeshare owner, I feel comfortable knowing that there is a place I can go to
get information. Bob
Please delete my ad to rent our one bedroom unit
at the Royal Caribbean in Cancun, Mexico. The unit has now been rented. Thanks
for your help!! kathy pitch
p.s. I want to let you know how helpful this site has been to me as a new
timeshare owner. I have been able to research resorts, get ideas on resale
prices, and because of your exchange database, we have exchanged our unit for
a home in Alaska in 1997. This would not have happened without this site.
Thanks again!!!
I have called your 800# and left my Visa info to
pay for my renewal. I appreciate the services your organization provides. I
usually make at least three RCI exchanges a year and my investment in TUG has
really paid off! Thanks again!
Sincerely, Elaine Forthofer
We have sold our Cypress Pointe week by
advertising on your web page. Thank you so much for displaying the ad in a
timely fashion, maintaining a professional ad and continuing to increase your
customer interest by adding value add information. We will recommend your site
for friends who are considering timeshare rental, purchase or sale.
believe it or not I have sold my timeshare week
through your web site. I will recommend you to others thanks jim taber
Thanks, but I think we're going to have the thing
sold by next week. Just dotting the I's and crossing the T's so to say. Yes, I
rec'd a reasonable response from it. If this deal I'm working right now falls
thru, I will be back for another ad run. I have been trying to sell this thing
thru an agent for 2 yrs and within a couple months of running the ad on your
site, I think I have it sold. Great service, keep up the good work! WILLIAM
SLUSHER
Bill: Just a note on the development of this site.
We use it on a regular basis. Even though there are not time shares in Alaska,
we were able to make an exchange for the use of our house for two weeks for a
week in Mexico. Next time I'll go 2 for 2. Thanks Mac
I was extremely happy with the response to the TUG
ad. I should have it sold before the new year. Thanks. Nick Palmiotto
Good news! My condo sold, and I attribute
completely to the ad in the tug www page. Thanks. You may delete it. Eileen
Samberg
Happy Holidays to you Bill!!! My husband and I
love TUGS. Thanks for all your hard work! Pat Rutowski
Hi, I am not renewing my TUG membership, NOT
because I don't like it. I sold my timeshare last year through TUG (thank God)
and just don't have the money to vacation right now. When I recover from this
financial disaster I'll be back. You guys do a great job, if only I had found
you before I bought! So in the meantime you can take me off your mailing list
- Keep up the great work.
Just a word of thanks for a great service. I
occasionally drop in to the TUG site and I always find something helpful and
interesting. please continue the good work! Wally Jenkins
This is to confirm my message on your 800 number
answering machine that I am renewing my TUG membership. The new format and the
content of the Web site is fantastic. You are all to be commended.
Thanks. Carol Easton
