Good deal or Rescind?

Approx $26K for 150,000 points, first year get a bonus 150K, for 300K, so if I don't take any vacations for the rest of the year, looking at 450K come January, and depending on how we book, that 150K points can easily stay around 200-300K /year, I think. Bought last Saturday so still have a few...

9,000.00 on Sapphire.
Wanted to give a shout out of thanks. Recession Letter is in the mail! With a day to spare. I believe this forum has saved my wife and I from a big pain in the butt. The recession letter in the packet, that sales person conveniently forgot to point out. Was straightforward and easy to fill out.
Sent certified mail with return receipt.
The red flag was already up but after the scam 200.00 free play. Lights and sirens were on. The free play can only be used on 16 old machines and you have to win a 5000 dollar jackpot for 100$.
Thanks again.

congrats on saving 9000 bucks!

Thanks TUG users for saving us over $17,000!

After researching what we had signed I realized that we were sold an HVC contract in addition to HGV Max, when what we mainly wanted access to was HGVC properties the salesman was happy to show us those properties and leave out the fact that they were not actually part of the "U.S. Collection"...

So I never thought I'd be one to own a TS. But I got a call from Monster, they set me up with a room at a questionable hotel for a few days in Myrtle Beach. No real incentive aside from the stay itself. Did the presentation kinda straight forward in my opinion. The sales guy I was paired with...
