Default Re: Timeshare Freebies?

I go to timeshare presentations when I have the time to do it (they say they only take 45 minutes, but really it takes 2-4 hours). You really do have to have thick skin and keep saying "no", but sometimes the free gifts are worth the time and aggrivation. For example, in Myrtle Beach SC I've been to a few of these and have received $75 cash, a dinner for 2, and show tickets. In Orlando, I got 2 free tickets to Disney World out of it. I went to a presentation in Cancun Mexico and got 2 tickets for a tour of Mayan ruins.

It is often very stressful to attend these presentations because they use a lot of high pressure sales tactics. If you don't think you can hold your ground and stand firm with "no", don't go.
