Has Anyone Ever Taken One of Those Vacation Packages Where They Try To Sell A Timeshare?
Recently, I signed on for what seemed to be an excellent vacation package. Two nights stay at a Williamsburg, VA resort w/two adult tickets to Busch Gardens included – all for only $89. Additionally, they are claiming they will give me two more nights at another time – FREE of charge – to return.
Upon verifying this package, I realized it is a time share selling package. You get this rate – but you have to devote an hour and a half to them dragging you around the resort and attempting to sell you a timeshare in it. There’s no obligation to buy (supposedly) – but you have to at least take the tour and participate to get the rate and return package deal. The return trip doesn’t include the hour and a half tour again.
Has anyone ever done this? Did they make you sign anything? Is putting up with the tour and timeshare selling attempts worth it for the trip or is this a scam that will only inconvenience me and my family on our vacation?
You’ll leave with a timeshare! Don’t do it unless you really want a timeshare.
You can’t get the tickets to the attractions if you don’t go. My trip included a stay at a hotel, and a cruise and you couldn’t get the tickets to the cruise if you didn’t sit through the timeshare stuff. But it wasn’t as simple as touring the timeshare. You sit around until you basically either convince them you can’t afford it (which you can…they make sure of that) or you sign the papers and put the down payment on a timeshare.
Then your phone number is in the system and they call you over and over again until you sign up for another b/c now you’re a “hot” lead…someone’s that bought before. Or you are a warm lead because you’ve taken the package and you may take another one.
Good luck! They aren’t worth it if you ask me and I’ll never do it again…cruise or not!

A Strategy For Selling Your Timeshare: Tips For Creating An Effective Timeshare Marketing Plan To Sell A Timeshare, Timeshare Packages Or Putting Up Timeshares For Rent So You Can Successfully Close A Deal And Make A Huge Profit $3.99 Selling your timeshare, or any type of real estate for that matter, can prove to be a very challenging task in these hard economic times. If you do get a sale, however, the huge returns are all worth it. Timeshares are considered luxury at the moment that is why it such a hard sell item in the real estate market. Therefore, as a seller, it is imperative that you turn this type of thinking around in order to make that much-needed sale happen for you. There are two ways to sell your timeshare effectively these days. Make potential buyers see how:1.Instead of reckless spending, timeshares are a profitable investment that they can make money from eventually.2.Instead of extravagance, timeshares are a fundamental need that the family can make use of for years to come. The trick is to create a plan that will attract buyers to the vacation property for sale. The plan needs to be deliberately strategic so as to, first of all, convince them that they need the property and that they are getting a great deal from you and, to finish off the deal, persuade them to buy in the end. |
