Pay attention to the contract. you will probably see the little word "perpetuity" which essentially means, we got you, your children, their children, and their children's children by the (fill in the blank). The only people that benefit is the big wigs that own the membership franchise. There is no "legal" way to break the contract unless as mentioned, you find some other sucker that doesn't know what "perpetuity" means. They can jack up the yearly fees, impose additional restrictions, etc., and there is not a damn thing you can do about it except grin and bear it. Do I sound bitter .... you betcha. Got "suckered" in on Camp Coast to Coast. Sounded good on the front, but my limited membership only allowed me to use my home resort pool and facilities .... wasn't even supposed to camp there, and could not camp in any of the other CCC resorts either. Finally found a sucker to take it off my hands.
Granted, they have their positives, but it's that little "p" word that makes it to where I will NEVER get a resort membership again and make sure that anyone I can inform knows what that "p" word signifies. I'll take their freebies, but usually, that doesn't end up working either as when asked to fill out the preliminary paperwork (which also has a field for my SSN), which I refuse to give. They respond that it is needed if I should happen to "win" something (ya, like a free pass for them to dig in my wallet), to which I respond, "If I win, then I will give my SSN, but not before". We usually get 'uninvited' at that point.
In short -- READ THE FINE PRINT .... IT WILL BITE YOU EVERY TIME.
