Re: ask-redweek-timeshare-sales-presentations (by Lori K.):

Don't feel sorry for that employee that got nothing for your free time! How many consumers go into the sales presentation knowing that there is a clause in the contract that allows every salesperson, including managers and closing agents to outright lie? Not one person is told going into these hours-long presentations that if they purchase they will be signing something that basically states "I am NOT relying on anything the sales reps told me". If I were told that in the beginning, I would NOT have allowed the presentation to go on at all because the timeshare is taking advantage of that clause to make money and I was not allowed to make an educated decision on a life-changing purchase. Ever wonder why there are so many complaints from owners about being lied to? It's because they are being lied to and we aren't talking about the expected embellishments like future amenities. We are talking about financial lies, lies that cause financial harm for a lifetime because there is no legal way out. Timeshare Companies and employees want you to feel like you are "moochers" if you walk away with the free gift. I applaud everyone that walked away with that free gift and not a timeshare because that "mooching" is nothing compared to the "mooching" timeshare. Timeshares will take money from owners for life by lying and they get away with it legally by taking advantage of a clause placed in the contract and they care nothing about those that fell for the lies. When an owner needs out the only solution the are given: you can always rent or sell and we all know that is not a legitimate solution.
