I went to a Hilton timeshare pitch. They will make you doubt your sanity and will try to hardball you into signing up for something, but stay firm and walk with your loot.

I’ve done it.. just be firm

I’ve done it a few times. Just keep saying no. I’ve gotten quite a few things from these pitches.

like

I did it for the Hilton in Vegas. 4 night stay on the strip for $200 bucks. Just say no and Do. Not. Deviate. Don’t go well..., or yes that does sound like a good offer. It’s just blood in the water for them. I was in an out in 30 minutes when the guy knew I was a hard no.

like

Yeah it was great and I got a 100 voucher on my next stay

😂

As Nancy Reagan said... Just say no.

I did it in Orlando, took the points instead. Got pitched for 1 hour by at least 5 people, they kept changing the offer. Final offer was “do you want to book another vacation at one of our Hawaii properties?” It was pretty annoying but you just have to say no, and make sure your spouse is in full agreement beforehand cause they try to pit you against each other, usually they try to sell the wife and make her sell the husband. They also then try to calculate how much you spend on vacation and claim it’s an investment asset, but anyone who has taken basic finance classes knows it’s just BS and it’s not a true real estate investment that generates cash flow. Overall it’s okay, I realized I never got my points and had to followup later for it

Your time is worth more than that.

My parents used to do this and okay like a good cop bad cop type thing. So if someone else is willing to go try that method. You can keep each other on track. Just be very firm and stay ten toes down.

I’ve been to three - just stick to your guns! Keep saying no, you’re not interested, you’re uncomfortable they keep asking, etc. I’ve gotten out each time in 2 hours!
