Don’t Do It!
My family and I got suckered into this timeshare scam back in March 2023 during our Orlando vacation. They promised us a gift card for sitting through a presentation. What a joke - it turned into over 3 hours of non-stop haggling from multiple salespeople. Noris made it sound amazing. She said our 7 kids could use the points whenever they wanted for trips, but guess what? We found out later that an owner has to be there at check-in every single time. So much for flexibility! I've tried booking twice for a Colorado conference and once for Arizona. Never any availability. Their app is garbage too, constantly crashing when you try to use it. They swore up and down that buying this wouldn't hurt our credit while we were buying a house, but sure enough, there's a hard inquiry on our credit report. They told us this was like buying real estate that would go up in value. Total lies. This thing is worthless and just keeps costing us more money every year. We've already spent $7,500 plus about $1,000 on maintenance fees every year, and we still owe over $13,000 at almost 14% interest! The maintenance fees keep going up too, which they barely mentioned during their sales pitch. What they sold as an investment is actually a money pit that's impossible to get out of. If this had any value, they shouldn’t have any problem taking this back and reselling. There's no way to sell or transfer this thing because no one wants a timeshare, it’s junk. This has been nothing but stress and wasted money for our family. So disappointed.
