I did my very first sales presentation two weeks ago at NCV. We had a very experienced saleswoman who could see after 15 minutes that we would not buy and turned us over to the sales manager. This was after she told us about the memo they got a few weeks ago that after January 1st MVC would no longer deposit weeks into Interval (we were there on an exchange).



I said I would use what I had in that case. She replied "Why would you ever go to Branson????" I told her we have family there and have enjoyed our time there, but my wife thought that was very rude.
While she was fine, the manager was a real piece of work. Repeated the lie that there would be no more weeks deposited into Interval starting next year - to which I replied I had paid for a five-year Interval membership a couple years ago, so I guess I will just wait and see what happens. Lots of other lies and half-truths. He said he would get me a copy of the memo about no more Interval deposits (which of course never happened). He was certainly high pressure, and I spent the next 30 minutes repeating why I will never buy from MVC when I know I can buy resale if I want points, which I don't because the MF have gotten so high. He tried to say that resale buyers must pay a $3,000 education fee plus $750 per 250 points, which I knew was a lie because I belong to TUG.
While we did get a $225 gift card, I doubt I will ever do another one because I spent the rest of the afternoon and evening rehashing the whole thing in my head. To me it was just not worth the aggravation and anger I felt about the way we were treated.
Contrast that to the DVC salesman I met in Disneyland that I started to chat with. He said "Hey do you want to come up to the member lounge and check it out?" Being resale, we can't normally get in, so we went and enjoyed some relaxing time. The quid pro quo? I gave him my email address and he emailed me the current incentives later that day. That was it. No lies. No high pressure. Just a friendly chat.
