This is helpful information! TY! Most timeshare videos just warn against getting (swindled into buying) one, but your video here offers actual ways to say no. 👍😘
It doesn't matter what objection you have, they've heard it before. Just tell them you're not buying a timeshare, but you will spend the required 90 minutes. I will say "I can easily afford a timeshare but will never purchase one. It doesn't matter what excuse I give you will have a reason for me to buy it". I also say "I have a money you want, it's your job to try and get it, it's my job to protect it at all cost". I will also say "It doesn't matter what you say, the only thing that matters is what is WRITTEN in the sales contract, you can promise me the world, but I would never bind a sales contract with MY signature before consulting with my attorney."
Easy hack: Dress modestly and bring a small notepad and pen. When signing in, write your name down and show the person… eventually they’ll ask if you can speak, write down No and show them. Do not speak, at all, only answer by writing and showing, and after you’ve written “No” multiple times they give up quickly and give you the reward. I’ve done this dozens of times in Vegas, resorts, and at conferences.
Not a valid hack for Wyndham at least, I do marketing and have tour reception coworkers, because of the qualifications policy they’ll turn you away and cancel your gift. I just don’t want people thinking that’ll be effective lol, funny though
Everyone I know with a timeshare regrets getting it. They’re always offering for us to use their timeshare and they complain about the rising annual fees. I don’t know how these things are legal because they’re basically impossible to get out of. I will probably do one of these presentations just to get free stuff but the free offer for attending the presentation has to be worth A LOT since I have little patience. I wonder if I’d be allowed to bring a baby. Can say “times up, gotta feed my baby!” 😂 give me my freebies 👋
I'm from Cleveland too... Elyria to be exact. I booked a week at a Wyndham resort in Vegas for a week through third party. Apparently they try to pressure you into singing up for a presentation even before they give you your room key, I don't want to do any presentations, so they best be okay with taking no for an answer.
I got 3 nights for free, so I had to do a presentation. If you paid for your room, just say no to presentation, you should be fine. But they will be convincing though, for vegas, they will offer you free show tickets etc.
Let me get this straight. They offer you 400k points for $100k and then when you say "no" enough times, you can have the same amount of points for less than $5k? I get that there is a "within 24 months" stipulation but honestly so gross.
Thanks Ming for sharing your experience. Did you sign any form or paper before the presentation start because they can use that sign in to say that you agreed?
As Wyndham owners, I wish that timeshare was south of the airport, closer to where my wife's family lives. We bought resale for pennies on the dollar, so are getting good value out of them. Also, we can travel off season, and on weeknights.
Get this. So I paid $150 for a 3 night stay at a nice hotel in Oregon last October, agreeing to hear a timeshare pitch. I had up to a year to select dates for the trip. At the time they'd asked me my income, which needed to be at least 60k/year. All good... So, today I try to select the dates and they ask me AGAIN about my income. Well, I've been unemployed since end of year. So now not eligible to go at the price I'd paid for. Sigh. Ok, so how about a refund? Nope, they say. I had only 7 days to do that after time of purchase. So I'll just have to eat the cost or hope I'm back fully employed by October. Bastards. I was really, really looking forward to the trip. Talk about getting kicked when you're down.
I think being a loyalty member definitely will increase your chances. I just recently had a booking with Hilton and I had to call into their call center to adjust my booking, and after my issue was resolved, they asked me to listen to an (timeshare) offer and I will receive 500 points. I didn't have time so I denied.
Just don't go on the presentation again. Once you go on the second presentation you are just doing it for the free gift. Stop wasting other peoples time if you know you are not gonna buy from the first time.
I have been doing these presentations for over 4 years with the entire family, they do blacklist you for a year, but so many companies do it, so I pick and choose, and get cheap hotel stays on their money, while I'm doing the presentations with my wife the kids are enjoying the pools and food they sometimes offer, scam the scammer, I have pissed off so many of them. I will keep doing it as long as I can.
They offer free gifts for coming. People are going to continue coming without any desire to purchase unless they change this. Don’t blame the client for wasting their time, blame Wyndham for their policy.
