I received a call from my former partner who was enjoying his week at Jade Tree Cove. Capital Vacations owns units at this timeshare, and they attempted to persuade him that his week was of no value. They promised to rescue him by converting it to points, warning him that his maintenance fees would exceed $2000 if he did not comply. However, he was never informed of the number of points or the cost associated with this conversion, and he mentioned that they had made similar claims the previous year.
He reached out to me for my perspective, sharing that this time the sales team presented him with a post from TUG, actually it was one of mine from 2017 as their proof. They misleadingly claimed it was the last unit ever sold and insisted that owners could not give away their weeks, incurring significant costs. These assertions were false.
Many owners cherish their units and continue to enjoy them, as this is indeed a wonderful destination. I chose not to delve deeply into the details during our conversation, instead advising him that the salesman's words were deceptive and that he should walk away, especially since he possesses a prime oceanfront week in one of the larger one bedroom units. I assured him that if he wished to part with it, we could find someone on TUG who would appreciate it. He confronted the salesman, who maintained his false claims.
I requested a copy of what the salesman had shown him, and I was shocked by the content. The sales staff at Capital Vacations had sunk to a new low.
I have attached what was presented to him alongside my original post. Please examine the final line of their document in comparison to my post. The markings were made by the salesman, who added a outright lie, a false statement claiming I was willing to Pay Buyer $5000. Additionally, it appears they altered the maintenance fee, which is perplexing.
I have encountered numerous instances of deceitful timeshare sales tactics, but this case stands out. They are now utilizing a TUG post to further their misleading narrative. I inquired if he knew the salesman's name, but he did not; however, he mentioned it was the same individual from the previous year.
I am now contemplating whether to reach out to Corporate at Capital Vacations, though I suspect my concerns will be disregarded.
Ultimately, they have added a false and misleading statement, demonstrating a clear intent to deceive. Their sales representative acted with malice by misrepresenting my post. It is disheartening that I am the face of their lies, prompting me to share this warning with potential buyers at Capital Vacations, as my post will appear in searches on TUG.
