Judging by the name, it will turn out to be selling a time-share.0

Be prepared for a 3.5 hour HARD SELL should you choose to go for this. It iis timeshare and they do not like you trying to walk away without getting you to sign paperwork you are not allowed to read beforehand.

Or a holiday "points club" or whatever they call them these days. Either way - they'll probably try to get you to sign up to something on the night - DO NOT DO IT. Even if you're at all vaguely interested, say you'll think about it, sleep on it, and let them know.Voyager2002 wrote: »Judging by the name, it will turn out to be selling a time-share.
Ignore any bull**** about special discounts etc if you sign immediately which won't be there tomorrow. Or course they will, they'll be offering exactly the same special discounts to those who turn up tomorrow, next week, or next month.
Anyone who tries to get you to spend several thousand on something you've just seen without getting the chance to think about it, research it, compare the competition etc is only doing it for one reason, they realise if you do you'll probably realise it's way overpriced, a rip-off or even a scam.
Read all the stories on here about people desperately trying to get out of timeshare/points clubs type arrangements.
PS I'm not saying any of this applies to this particular organisation, I've never heard of them, just that you should watch out in case the above applies.0
