An idea for presentations....

But Papi was a little sloppy!

As Jackie Chiles would say.... That's totally inappropriate. It's lewd, lascivious, salacious, outrageous!
 
I didn't know tug stood for "only buy resale" I thought it was for the free exchange of timeshare information.
Back in the 1990's one bit of help full info I received was to turn down the first two offers to attend a presentation

Third was best. Things to do that sort of thing now it is complain and figure out how to beat the new rules when it comes to mega renters.

I hope those u "helped save" was in their best interests

Why go AT ALL? :shrug::shrug::shrug:

On our last vacation I had stubbornly decided to NOT attend the presentation and I was a bit rude when I told them so. But when they offered free breakfast and four all-day ski lift tickets, I relented (after some prodding by my wife). The breakfast was awful but the lift tickets saved us $360 so it was worth 2 hours of our time while the kids were sleeping in one morning.

Thankfully, I found TUG in time to save me from wasting over $10,000 on a retail purchase. I ended up finding a TS better suited to my needs and it was totally free. I'd say that's in my best interest. :D
 
My point. Would have to know where u bought and vacation goals. I still own 1resale, yea thought that's what I needed. Priced right etc and they were not going to rip ! Me off those lyers and thrives! Things change I witch Wyndham owners are finding out. In the past 2years have become VIP gold. Enough to get me and my children and grandchildren all together in their po wn units.

Do you smell something? Smells like Troll. :annoyed:
 
Dioxide,

Do you think it is a worthwhile way to spend your vacation? You have effective spent 3 full daylight hours in a salesroom?

I know for sure I will not be setting foot in a presentation after my last experience!

I just don't know.... I am not the type of person that can sit there and let someone blatantly tell me misinformation for that length of time. You know how the system works better that most sales people. How to you contain yourself?
 
We don't just promote buying resale on here. We share helpful information about places we have traveled to on vacations. Give tips on resturants, airline info, what to see and do at locations. I look to TUG for advice, especially if I am traveling to a new destination. If we come off as bitter, I am sorry you feel that way. I have found many Tuggers to be helpful and friendly. Life is short, if healthy, travel and enjoy yourself!

when the phone rings say "Vandlay Vacation Club"

Vandlay vacation club? what do we do?

We have timeshare trust points.

And what do you do?

I'm your timeshare salesman!

you"re gonna be my timeshare salesman? I don't think so!

come on! you know I always wanted to pretend to be a timeshare salesman!
 
They say no one's ever beaten the timeshare sales pitch, but gentlemen, I tell you this...I came as close as anyone ever has.
 
U don't have to sit through anything call the 800number and ask for sales. I bought 128,000 points for $.13/ point that was $.02 per point cheaper than going to a presentation. Told about 15 minutes and got 172000 bonus points

Before the Marriott TUGgers heads blow up, raygo is talking here about Wyndham Points, not Marriott. :)

Raygo, it's great you're enthusiastic about your direct purchases wherever/whatever they may be. There are many TUGgers who have purchased timeshares direct and are very happy with them, me included. But there are substantial savings to be had on the external resale market, and those buyers are as welcome on TUG as you are. None of us wants or needs to be denigrated for our purchase decisions. :)

why can't you be more like more lloyd braun!
 
at the last presentation we attended, we were told they would be adding units from Del Boca Vista to the trust. units have no air conditioning, only sleeper sofas and you have to wear your sneakers in the pool. good thing my son hasn't sold my moth ridden cabana wear!
 
This sort of became the thread about nothing at about post #16. :D Sorry for the hijack shoeie.

Were you talking about acronyms prior to that? Such as???

yes shoeie, sorry about the hijack but this was just too much fun to pass up. maybe Sue can split this thread into two?

At my last one....we were seated on a velvet couch....and I got a label maker for a gift. It looked like it had already been opened....I think they re-gifted.
