We're staying up at Lake Tahoe for a quick two night weekday getaway and so have no interest in going to an update aka sales presentation. Upon check-in we heard the usual about a "new" program that would allow us not to pay maintenance fees, about how big things are happening with Apollo being the new owners, etc. Heard it all before.
But, after we continued to say no to an update, the salesperson then said that with Apollo's new ownership, DRI no longer does same day sales to current owners so we wouldn't have to worry about a sales pitch at the "owner's update". Never heard this one before. He said that we would get a price list that would be good for so many months, but no same day sales. Also that it would only last 55 min, or maybe a little bit longer depending upon our questions!
My guess is that this would be like all our recent "owner's updates" where we go to a 3 hour marathon and get a ridiculous price sheet, something like you have to buy 10,000 points at $8 per point. Then, someone from the back office finds an error which would allow us to buy about 5000 points at $3.50 each if we acted immediately.
Anyway, I was just curious if anyone else has heard of this 'no same day sales'.
We really like the DRI properties and they are great value for us retired folks who can get away on short notice for cheap rooms. But these sales pitches are the worst!
