For the most part it's a complete and utter waste of time. Parents had one and ONLY because they were retired and could go during "Non-blackout" times was it worth it. I tried on several occasions to use it, only to find out that the fuckers are never available when you want them.
That said, a partner at a former law firm let his wife and best friend go to Cabo and when they returned, he found that they were owners of a timeshare in Cabo. However, there were only 8 owners of 1 individual condo so time availability was not an issue (except during the winter holidays). Still he was pissed that she did it without discussing it with him first, but they ended up using it a lot.
So, it depends on the plan, but for the most part - don't waste your time.
