2 years ago, we did it in 52 minutes. After we said "no" to the check in lady multiple times, she finally made us an offer we couldn't refuse. No breakfast, and 45 minutes total. Upgrade to GM, $150 credit, black card, and 10% off. I took the bait.
We went to our appointment, and were met by an older English-accented salesman. Of course, he wasn't in sales, more customer service, blah, blah, blah. We watched the little Vidanta video, he took us through a couple of GL units (we're MP level), and then started in on the pitch.
We were armed to the teeth with information, and ready to call up my contract on the phone if needed. I kept correcting him when he said something different about our contract (commission fee to Vidanta on sales, golf privileges, senior certificates, etc.)
He got to the point to show us we already had $74,000 in equity with Vidanta, and I smirked. I offered our friend the opportunity to buy our unit at 1/2 price. Too bad it's illegal for him to buy owner units.
I then said, "You and I both know I have $0 in equity, and that it would likely cost me a few thousand to get rid of my unit. We have eight years left on our 25 year contract (bought in 2002). We'll use it 8 more times, and then we'll rent from an owner if we want to come back.
His reply was "it sounds as if this program isn't for you". He then said he'd clear up our paperwork, and we'd be on our way. This is when I knew the next level up would appear. Low and behold, 3 minutes later, our British friend has our certificates, shakes hands, and wishes us a pleasant vacation. I couldn't believe it! Out in 52 minutes.
