    Give them a couple of very firm no thank you's the first time they approach you...Don't ever tell them "maybe" when they ask about a breakfast or lunch meeting. They'll call several times a day.

    We spend 30 minutes with them... End up with a bottle of tequila ''Temptation'' and 45$ for a massage. Deal is not good for us and no fit with our lifestyle. We declined.

    Last year we told them when your all done with all of the renovations we might consider the presentation until then were not interested. The lady didn't know what to say.

    DO unplug your phone, and check every afternoon that the maid didn't plug it back in...unless you like 8:00 am wake up calls inviting you to "breakfast" every morning #lessonslearned the hard way

    I just tell them we have been coming since the Blue Bay days, and aren't interested.

    Blondie here... What is your real reason for walking past? Our first trip we read so much about walk away, walk away our second trip 6 months later we stopped and listened. We love our membership and got everything we wanted and everything we asked for.

    No...... the OP is right!


    It's already getting too crowded at the Premier Bar.
    Don't need anymore members or there will be a white towel shortage every day.

    So...
    Carry On, as you were

    'Walk past.'
    "Nothing to waste time on."
    "It is a scam"
    Concoct more elaborate B.S. to brag about, on how-to stiff the evil timeshare salesflock

    Hahaha, that is so true Marshe We don't want to have the blue blood of Premier membership diluted. Can you imagine trying to get your favorite room? Or a cocktail poolside? Or a dinner reservation? Imagine the horror. Just keep walking.

    Hi Ali & Andrew, cant wait to get there see you in 5 days time :), Sean & Tina sorry for the way I put that, what I was trying to refer to was I am pretty sure that they don't bother British people anywhere as much as Americans or Canadians, they know that it is a long way for us to come, nearly all British repeaters that we know can only make it once a year, and package holidays over here are a lot cheaper than booking everything separately, so it is really not worth their while trying to sell us timeshare, that is my opinion having been their numerous, I was trying to say in my way, put on your best English accent and they may just not bother you :)
