I would be very interested in hearing the experiences of people from Australia with the types of timeshare I have just purchased, (The holiday Club Pacific) I am having a difficult time understanding how things work and how to get the best of my memebership.

    What exactly are you wanting to buy? I have a timeshare with The Holiday Club which I tried to get out of the cost is around $16,000.00 with 30,000.00 points each year. This is a long term timeshare (I was told 84 years) which can be transfered.
