Timeshare giveaways
    #10225263 - 04/24/09 09:51 AM (14 years, 11 months ago)

Has anyone here sat through the presentation for a time share, said no, and gotten the shit they promised you? My gf and I are gonna sit through a high pressure tour on saturday and supposedly get a 4 day 3 night cruise out of it.

We definitely aren't going to buy shit because we're just poor ass college kids. Just wondering if anyone here has done it.

Time shares are as stupid as the people that buy them.

A friend did that- said it was pretty intense. Like being indoctrinated into a cult. The vacation and stuff is all real, but the sales pitch is too.

yeah, my parents used to sit through these sometimes to take our family on vacations.  It wastes a chunk of your vacation time listening to all the shit, but you usually end up some place pretty nice for a few days.

Yup... my pops and I, while in Florida, did that.  We sat through their presentation, refused numerous times, went through like 3 salesmen, they cut the price down to about a 10th of what it originally was, my pops still said no, and we still got the free Disney World tickets or whatever it was they promised us.

There's one in my area that gives checks for 100 bucks.  I've been thinking about going to that one.

my mom loves those things, we've taken a half dozen trips to some
location or another, collected all kinds of gifts and every time we
went the pitch unfolded the same way


salesman: ...and your husbands name?

mom: I'm not married

salesman: if you're not married then you're not eligible for the
time share...

mom: that's OK, I'll take my gifts and leave now

salesman: ma'am, you'd have to sit through the sales pitch and
I'm not going to give you the pitch if you're ineligible to buy

mom: why am I ineligible to buy or hear the pitch?

salesman: because you're not married

mom: that's discrimination, I'll take my gifts and my million
dollars now

salesman: Oh no, it's not discrimination

mom: according to the lawyers you cant refuse to sell me
anything based on my sex, race, age, sexual preference or
marital status, what you're doing is discriminitory, is my
money only worth something if I happen to be married?

salesman: it's not like that...

mom: but it is, you're running an operation that encourages
discrimination against unmarried people and aside from being
illegal on that basis it sure seems like theres a scam involved
since you're refusing to even allow me the change to buy a
vacation time share

salesman: let me talk to my supervisor

mom: you do that, can I borrow your phone, I'm going to call my
lawyer and go ahead and get this lawsuit started, this sort of
thing just doesnt sit well with me, no telling how many people
you've done this to, it's wrong and before it's all over there
many be hundreds of millions payed out in settlements

salesman: alright, the voucher says you get the portable color
TV/FM radio, the Black Star of India Gemstone and the 4 days
cruise in the bahamas, what date would you like that cruise?


yeah... mom didnt like hearing no but she was damned good at saying it

My father used to go them every once in awhile. He had a few good stories from them. He stayed on 'no' so sternly he apparently got kicked out one time. One of my favorite lines he fed them was something like "Oh yeah, I agree, it's an excellent deal. I also think it is very reasonable and affordable and I would in fact love to have it. It's just that I'm not going to buy it." You need to be a brick wall to these guys.

Yep, multiple times, gotten the goodies 100% of the time.

Sometimes they are straight up, say "whoever is really interested come over here, the rest of the people for the free stuff go there".

Other times they will screw with your head for HOURS before you get the free stuff, even if you got practically no money.

Well we just got back home and we got the package! We didn't even have to sit through anything. When I filled out the paper during "registration" I said I am a student at UT and that immediately disqualified me for a timeshare :thumbup:

They took us straight to the gift room and hooked us up.

4 day cruise after I get done with summer school :cool:

I should go sit through one of these, they wouldn't convince me of anything and I'd have no trouble sitting through listening to all the shit they say.

I'd get amped so it sound interesting :laugh:

There exists one lie that is the absolute worst. A lie that has successfully infiltrated many of the Western governments. This lie is Christianity, and it must be fought in every way, shape and form. Burn the churches and kill the priests. The abomination that is Christianity must be wiped from this Earth.
