The "Call"

The first 'Call' came about 5:30 pm.
It was from Point to Point Destinations offering a 90 minute presentation about PTP Destinations timeshare program. In return for my 90 minutes of time, I would receive a 'free' gift. He mentioned that the free gift includes a free trip to Las Vegas (airfare and two nights accommodation). In addition there was a two for one coupon for a cruise. There was also an option to get Vancouver Canucks tickets instead of the Vegas trip.

Some verification questions:
  1. Married or common law
  2. Combined income of over $60,000 per year
  3. Available to come in for the seminar with spouse.

After listening the agent for a while, he escalated my call to his manager to verify my details. Unfortunately, my wife was out of town, therefore would not be able to make the seminar time.

A week later, PTP followed up with me to schedule another appointment. After listening to his spiel again, once again I was passed on to his manager to verify my details.

The manager said that its more of an informational session without the high pressure sales and that it was a way for PTP to spread the word about their timeshare program.

Free trip to Vegas? Learn about timesharing? Sure why not give it a go - keep an open mind!
