You have to spend a few hours listening to a timeshare pitch. I’ve done them before just make sure you stay at a hotel you would otherwise want to stay at.
They say pitch is 90 min. but if often goes over. It's sometimes offsite at a different sales center/resort, your spouse has to go too, and they will be veeery pushy
Yeah I would assume it’s a half day lost. If you signal to the guy that you will not under any circumstances be a buyer they will generally let you go so they can move on to the next victim. But it is a very annoying situation. You have to decide how much it’s worth to you and check the alternatives. Some of these resorts are like $150/night so your savings is maybe $500. Is it worth losing a half day for $500? I feel like as I get older the answer is increasingly no.
Agree, we did this for Cancun before. Upfront it’s a good deal but the catch is the timeshare pitch.
The Sheraton properties in Florida are generally not that nice. If you want to do this maybe go for a Marriott or Wyndham. Check out the pics and reviews online.
I’ve also seen them where you have to bring your spouse and both must attend the pitch. Might not be a big deal, but can’t be a friends trip, etc.
Funny I just got that Sheraton vistana offer!
Thanks all! How long / painful is the timeshare pitch?
