Ours NCV sales lady assured us that the resale week we bought in 2020 was a fluke...

I have my phone and will happily read a book or play on the Internet for 60-90 minutes if thats what they want to do. I did agree to be there for X amount of time. Then again, I generally am not interested in the gifts so usually don't go. It's always my co-travellers. I think I'm going to tell them they can go if they want the offers lol.

Everyone talks about how the Marriott sales people are above the sleazy behavior. That's a load of crap. I've had the worst experiences with Marriott. The new sales center on Hilton Head was the worst. Prior to that the one at Surfwatch was so bad that I also called out the sales manager as a liar, but I actually think that he just didn't know what he was talking about which is even more pathetic. I generally attend virtual sales sessions now, and those are much easier and the folks are very straight forward.

I have been to multiple Marriott, multiple Wyndham, and one Westgate sales presentations.

The worst one I ever experienced was the Wyndham one in Branson. At one point they had 3 sales people all trying to berate me and convince me that the prices on eBay were fake and I was too poor to pay their prices, etc. They also tried to have my wife sign a credit authorization while I was in the bathroom without telling her what it was! (It was on a clip board and conveniently folded to cover up the top part with the credit disclosure. They told her it was a survey or some nonsense. When I came back from the bathroom I grabbed it and started reading and immediately ripped it up so they couldn't submit it. Definitely the sleaziest presentation ever.

I have never experienced anything quite THAT bad with Marriott- but have been told plenty of BOLD FACED LIES about maintenance fees, and great new locations that were coming soon, and about some fictitious European locations that only a sales person in France could help me access since I was an American owner, etc, etc.
