Anybody members or have any experience with these guys? We got invited by some friends to go to Vegas on a promo deal. The price was too good to pass up but we do have to endure the hard sell pitch while we are there. What should I expect? It's 3 nights at the Wyndham property in Vegas, a dinner, and tickets to Terry Fator for $250 so it was hard to pass up.

I am a member. I have only been to the facility on Vegas Blvd. in Vegas. It is a great facility. They always try to get me to go to a meeting to "update" members. I always pass. A couple of times I had to remind them I am the "owner" and they should quit harassing me.Originally posted by FMCoug View Post
I can't tell you how bad the meetings are or the pressure. I can tell you you can buy a membership cheaper on e-bay than direct. -
I am a big fan of Worldmark. I would buy points on EBay though. You can get them for about 30-50 cents on the dollar."The first thing I learned upon becoming a head coach after fifteen years as an assistant was the enormous difference between making a suggestion and making a decision."

Man, no kidding about Ebay...There are some cheap timeshares there. I found one I used to own. I paid 7k back in the day, now just $49 plus closing cost...

Wasn't high pressure at all. That said, I am now an owner.Originally posted by byu71 View Post
Via resale, you cannot get some of the premiere benefits. So we got the lowest package that comes with all that and will add ebay points.."It's true that everything happens for a reason. Just remember that sometimes that reason is that you did something really, really, stupid."Comment

Yep. Actually here until tomorrow. Great facility. Love the lazy river. Saw the Terry Fator show last night and they gave us free tickets to The Mentalist tonight. Hadn't been to Vegas for a long time but this has been a blast.Originally posted by byu71 View Post
Since we just got rid of our RV the timeshare seemed like a good alternative."It's true that everything happens for a reason. Just remember that sometimes that reason is that you did something really, really, stupid."Comment

Well, obviously there wasn't high pressure. You need to say no for that!Originally posted by FMCoug View PostWasn't high pressure at all. That said, I am now an owner.

Seriously though, I hope you said no at least once, cause they will drop their price in half (usually) once you initially say no. So, if anyone is really planning on getting a time share through one of these presentations, just say no and the price will just keep dropping.Comment

PM me with those of those premiere benefits. Everytime I call them or they call me, I am referred to as a "premium owner". Maybe that isn't the same as premier.Originally posted by FMCoug View PostWasn't high pressure at all. That said, I am now an owner.

Hard to know how good a deal overall but I did end up getting it for about 60% of what they say "retail" is. And got them to throw in an extra week as well.Originally posted by LiveCoug View PostWell, obviously there wasn't high pressure. You need to say no for that!

What I have used the most through the years is bonus time. As they continue to sell more membership, bonus time becomes harder and harder to come by. When you can get in though, you can't beat the price.Originally posted by FMCoug View PostComment

Yeah my friends said the same thing. One of the things you get as a TravelShare memberr (that's the name of the new thing you can only get if you buy direct) is extra time. Bonus Time is 14 days out ... I can do it 21 days out (for .06 a point vs. .05). And the more points you have, the further in advance that gets. I can also book a week at any RCI resort 45 days or less out ... for 4000 points flat rate. There are other things too but those were the two biggies.Originally posted by byu71 View Post"It's true that everything happens for a reason.
