Timeshare Promotions
You may have experienced timeshare promotions before. They come in many forms such as kiosks, advertising, discounted or free tickets, telephone calls that you've won a prize or offers for a free stay at a resort. But is it really free?
Well, in exchange for your freebees, you'll have to attend a timeshare presentation. Normally, presentations are supposed to last 90-minutes, although this is rarely the case. Presentations can drag on for hours and although they vary greatly depending on the resort, they are usually a high-pressure sales pitch.
Do some research on the resort before you go. Look up reviews and timeshare resale prices on websites such as this one. You may fall in love with the resort and decide to purchase. If this is the case, please keep in mind the timeshare resale market can offer you the same thing for less money.
So, the answer to the question, is free always free? No, it's not entirely free. Your gifts come at the cost of your time and travel expenses. Only you can decide if the gift or offer is worth it.

DISCLOSURE: Timeshares Only (TSO) operates within the timeshare resale marketplace. Through cooperative advertising, TSO makes it possible for timeshare buyers, sellers and renters to connect around the world. The TSO rack rate for advertising is $598 for a sale and rental ad when purchased simultaneously. The fee is payable at the time the ad is purchased. TSO does not itself engage in real estate broker services on your behalf or anyone else. Since TSO does not provide real estate services, TSO has itself sold zero (0) timeshare properties. However, for the 2008 and 2009 calendar years, the real estate broker affiliated with TSO and its network of cooperating brokers sold 4,051 timeshare properties with an average success ratio of listings to sales of 73%. TSO will refer you to a licensed real estate broker to provide whatever real estate brokerage services are necessary, if requested. The terms of any agreement between a real estate broker/agent and you are not endorsed, or recommended by TSO. If you accept the services of a real estate broker/agent, a transaction fee, commission, and/or closing costs may be charged to either the buyer and/or seller. There is no guarantee that any timeshare period can be rented or sold at any particular price or within any particular period of time. Any offers submitted by prospective buyers are sent directly to the timeshare owner or the owner's designated real estate broker. Due to privacy concerns, direct contact information for owners is not available on TSO’s website. Owners are entitled to a refund of the advertising fee if they provide TSO with notice of cancellation of their advertisement within three (3) business days from the day their advertisement becomes active on TSO’s website.
