So, I got invited to this VIP tour with breakfast, right? They start with this meh breakfast, and then it's onto this endless 1.5-hour presentation about their timeshare. The apartments they showed were stunning, but I'd read enough reviews to know it's probably a bait-and-switch. They offered $150 just for attending, which sounded decent until you realize what you're in for.
These salespeople were relentless. They tried to push this "buy now or the price goes up by $12k tomorrow" spiel on me—hilarious, right? I kept saying no because, you know, I like to weigh my options. But they just wouldn't stop. Another guy comes in, trying to sell me a rental program for half the price. Nope, still not interested.
Then a third person shows up, pushing me to prepay for my next vacation. I was so fed up by then. When you decline, their nice facade drops real quick. I wasted two and a half hours just to get that $150, but I could see how they trap people with their high-pressure tactics. If you're not good at saying no, steer clear. Otherwise, go grab your free cash and run.
