Hi Owners,
me and wife recently went to westin langunamar resort. my wife got a timeshare tour email that offered 4 nights for $299. we took it and went to Cancun for a small vacation. during the presentation i was offered 10.2K initial fee and $846/year maintenance fee , 47k pts and 5 gateways from Vistana, which they said its company owned by marriot. I got pretty tempted to take but i refused the deal. then i was offered 100k marriot bonuvy pts and 5 nights stay at the same resort for 1k. i refused that as well. the reason for refusal was mainly because of the commitment of lifetime and i had to make a decision right then and there , which is a heavy red flag in my mind whatever the once in lifetime opportunity. after some googling , i found this site .
question for the owners
do you think it was good to refuse the deal? , i have no clue how to judge if this timeshare is a good deal or bad. also i usually book my hotels through hot wire , priceline and etc.
a little about me
i am very, very frugal (atleast try to be) and i can easily take unplanned vacations like around 2 week in advance
