It's just a timeshare presentation. Because it's so lucrative for them, they can give hotel stays just for the chance to pitch the sale. Just don't be stupid and don't buy it, and you can enjoy the free stay  | |

I knew a girl who did this (except to Jamaica). It was completely legit. I think the time share presentation was about 3 hours. They're pretty aggressive during the meeting, but if you can say 'no'...

I've been to one, and it was about 90 minutes. SUPER aggressive, but they don't really try to "trick" you. There are SO many weak minded fools who will just cave in and blow their money on a time share. Those are the people they prey on. Just don't be one of them | |

Do they do the sales pitch at the beginning of the trip? I've always wondered what would happen if you simply didn't show up for the time share presentation...
Either way, a relatively free trip to Mexico (c'mon, you know you're going to be spending money on tequila!) is pretty tempting...

Yeah if you say no what are the reprocussions? I could totally say no to buying anything. I just wouldn't want to get there and then have them charge me the cost of the trip because I say no.

Which you probably would, I dunno.
They won't charge you if you say no to the pitch though.

Hmmmm, I'm still a little skeptical of this wondering if there's any other catches other than just sitting through a timeshare presentation.

This seems like a good deal if you have enough patience to sit through the whole presentation without wanting to stab yourself in the eye...

there are no free lunches in this world.
from other time share, you go there, you register, you sit in a room, huge grand presentation and then you break off to small group with a guy and a girl that pushes you like crazy, they push and push and pressure and question and trial close and rebuttal to the max.
you can still say no, but they make you wake thru fire hoops before you can make it out the door feeling ashamed that you made the guy look bad type feeling.
