Hey, so I went to this gun show recently, and guess what? They gave me a raffle ticket that won me a trip to Williamsburg, VA! I can bring my boyfriend along, but here’s the deal: I gotta endure a 90-minute “tour.” Sounds like a timeshare pitch, right? The travel coordinator promised me a visa gift card and a vacation to one of three cool destinations after the tour. I’m not that excited about the VA trip, but the winter getaway sounds awesome for a seasonal worker like me.
I’ve never been to a timeshare presentation, but I’ve seen folks online rave about cheap vacations from them. I’m pretty good with money, so I’m not the ideal target for a timeshare pitch – especially at a gun show! Is this whole thing shady? What should I watch out for? Do these salespeople get pushy or even illegal? And if I do go, how can I escape the pitch ASAP?
Your tips would be so appreciated!
