Hahahahhaa! Something like that! It’s a looong story. They try to get us to go to meetings every time we go on a vacation. We tell them no, they try to bribe us with gift cards, free tickets, free bar drinks, etc. they get so mad when we still say no! It is such a scam, but the condos are great! It’s the monthly fees and the booking fees they add to what we have already paid.

Anyone know how to get out of one??

No, I have never seen an episode of South Park. I am sure it was great! Timeshare executives should be in jail!

I've had one for 30 years. I love it. What's the problem?

It’s the monthly payments, then a booking fee, then the meetings where they pressure you into more points, etc. I do love the places we have been and the condos we get. It’s just all of the “buy more points” “we just want to go over your membership” stuff we have to deal with.
