    As you can see, I am a newbie here. So here is a little background. Me and my wife have been looking for somewhere to have our 2nd anniversary vacation. We were looking at the golden parsnuss. As it was the beat price we could find and had what we wanted. This will be our first vacation since our honeymoon. We spent our honeymoon at sandals ocho rips. Want to go back but way out of our budget. We really need a vaca. Since we got married we have had to deal with a friend of mine living with us, after he moved my sister inlaw living with us during a divorce, once she moved my mother inlaw moved in with us and has been in and out of the hospital and then me being put in the hospital in feb. It has been a stressful long 2 years.

    I first found this site from looking at a vacation at Temptation. But the found golden might be more our thing. Until today.


    My wife found a site called wannagovacation.com. they have a deal for Temptation for 5 days 4 nights for 399.99.

    Has anyone heard of this site? Is it a real deal or is it to good to be true? I know you have to go to some 90 minute sales thing. But if it was a legit deal, I could probally deal with that.

    So if anyone has any info I would really appreciate it.


    Thanks

    When we were there; there were some couples doing that deal. Steve can probably tell you best but I do think it is legit as it is advertised at the top of this page.

    Im just worried because I have not been able to find any reviewsfor it. And when you check the bbb it says there are 2 complaints and they aren't a memeber of the bbb. But on the site they say they are.

    Just scared to book with no reviews

    As far as I know it's not really a scam it's simply an incentive to get people to buy a timeshare. There are very strict qualifying requirements and of course you have to sit through a high pressure time share pitch - where every sales tactic in the book will be thrown at you.

    They run it as a loss leader, they'll make a loss if no one buys in but if one in twenty drop $20K then it more than covers the 19 that dont (made up figures for the sake of an example). It must work out for them otherwise they wouldn't do it.
    Just do your homework here on the forum about the value and history of the Premier deal and try not to be swayed by top shelf drinks and promises from people who you'll never see again and who dont get paid if they dont make a sale. If you're confident you can do that then take the deal if it works out cheaper for you by all means :)

    I thought it might have appeared on cancuncare, let me explain a little about the ads.

    How they work is they are automatically served by Google. Google scans the page, recognises the content and then delivers ads it thinks are appropriate to the web site visitor. Companies pay Google so much per click on their ad and Google passes some of that on to me as a publisher.

    Companies can target particular web sites where they want their ad to show. They can also choose who they dont want the ad to show too. So, in this particular case they dont show to me in Mexico, and probably not in the UK but almost certainly show to those from the US or Canada since the ads are targeting the demographic they seek.

    I suppose what Im saying is just because an ad appears here it doesn't mean I necessarily endorse it - especially if I never see it :)

    Personally, I dont see a problem with such ads as long as people fully realise what they are about and what is in it for the company which I've tried to explain above. I certainly dont want to deny anyone a cheap deal if they fully understand the business model involved.

    I am able to block ads on a case per case basis, so if anyone ever experiences a problem with services they purchased arising from an ad displayed here let me know and I'll block it.

    Thanks for the info. Guess we will have to look into it. I know I wont buy a timeshare. Can't afford it. Lol. My problem would be having to deal with them trying to get me to buy.

    I highly suggest avoiding a timeshare sale. I've been through one years ago in Orlando and it practically takes up one of your vacation days. It's added stress you don't from what I've read.

    I have been trough many timeshare sales pitches as my parents owned 4 of these and have deeded them to their kids meaning I am now a timeshare owner. Some are really high pressure and some are not. You need to tell them up front you are not buying and just be adamant about it. They will not waste there day on you if they know they cannot get a sale.

    We looked into that deal, but since we wanted to come for 7 days, it actually worked out to be more to book that deal, buy airfare separately, then pay for two more days on our own than to book a flight+hotel package through Expedia or Ortitz.

    So, you might be able to get the same or better price without the time commitment for the presentation.
