Developers send out there minions to persuade you with as many promises they can muster to get you to sign on with their program today.
Many people buy into the concept that you could stay at a vast assortment of hotels free for a week, simply by listening to what they have to say—next thing you know, you’ve bought your timeshare at the developer’s over-bloated price. Even though these are not always high-pressure salespeople with dishonest methods, they do want your money, and will try to get your signature that day.

Always be wary of people who will bait you with free stuff into signing today. Often details are being omitted to insure your business. Such as the maintenance fees, a yearly payment you are responsible to shell out for the upkeep of your timeshare—whether you use it or not. Often people would learn they have to take their vacation at the same time each year.
Goading you to sign up today, these salespeople will attempt to pique your interest on behalf of a developer, with amounts of promises and added perks—like it would cost you money, not to buy.
For example, the number of points awarded may be good at one hotel for a whole week, while at a more high-end resort, these points will barley let you stay the night.
