Hello..
I was just curious. I have 12 days coming up. I really like to see the timeshare/vacation club tours because you can buy them for 100.00 on Ebay whey you get home.. Ha.. But… Do the fact that the tours are so, so expensive did they have anytime share presentations to give away atv, dolphin, cruise tours ect..

My one and only timeshare experience was a good one. Back when I was young and poor, I was sent an invitation for a free flight to Orlando Florida and a mini-cruise to the Bahamas if I sat through a timeshare presentation in Kissimee. I took them up on it and while I did not purchase the timeshare in question, they pleasantly made good on all of their promises and we had a nice vacation. Either they must have been pretty confident in their sales staff or grossly under estimated how truly poor we were, ha, ha!

I had to sit through a ’90′ minute (cum 2 and a half hour) timeshare presentation in Las Vegas in the summer. We did get three tickets to a great show though, and a lunch. If stale sandwiches and fizzless coke is what passes as a lunch in Vegas…

But it is sooo boring, and these guys just don’t seem to be able to spot a penniless ponce who’s just there for a freebie.

That’s unfortunate. I’m visiting Cancun in a month and wondering how I will avoid the inevitable timeshare annoyances.

Croft – If you can get money then go for it. They didn’t even offer us money, just breakfast. The worst was just that we truly did not know what it was until we were trapped. And it’s not like we haven’t deliberately seen timeshare presentations in order to get freebies before, we have. But we didn’t see this coming.

Mindy – I totally agree. And for $9000 USD I could take a LOT of nice vacations.

Hey there. I totally know what you mean. And it seems almost worse since we moved here. It is like it becomes the goal of the sales person to get through your resistance. So sad. And for $9000 UDS I could buy another spot of land that I would own EVERY DAY of EVERY YEAR in any number places in the Yucatan. Sorry you were robbed. I hate crime.

Thank you! We were recently tempted to go for one of these as well but fought the urge off. You have re-set my resolve. At least I will hold out for more than a free breakfast. On our way through P.V. we were actually offered $200 USA.
