    I have also just paid £199 for two free weeks with my timeshare. I am now panicking that it is a scam. Has anyone been stung by this or have they actually had holidays?

    I had this offer last month - after thinking about it - turned it down as we did not want to be (fingers burnt) I felt the rep on the phone was very pushy and was after a commission.The time share is not even mine! I was enquiring about MIL 's as we were considering using it.
    If winter comes, can spring be far behind?
    Spring begins on 21st March.
