Default Free 2 Night Vacation!

Hi guys, my friend who works for a company called International Reservations is giving away free vacations for 2 nights, 2 adults to either Las Vegas or Disneyland. There is no catch, and you are not obligated to buy anything, I swear! All you have to do is attend a 90 mintue tour of the center conveniently located in Newport Beach, Encino, Ontario, Rancho Bernardo or San Francisco and at the end of the tour, you will draw a certificate from a glass bowl to either Las Vegas or Disneyland, some lucky people can even draw a 4 day Carnival Cruise to Encinada, Mexico or even a new car of your choice up to $50,000.00 dollars all courtesy of Pacific Monarch, one of the two largest Resort Companies in CA. The only obligation you have is to stay throughout the tour so you can draw your free gifts at the end. I can

This is the oldest scam in the world. Do you really think this company is giving something away for nothing? Think about it. There is a huge catch. You will be subjected to hours of sales harassment. If you think otherwise, you deserve what you get.

Well, these things are not strictly scams. Count on more than 90 minutes and you do have to stand firm against a saleman's onslaught after the presentation. My girlfriend and I went to a couple that sound just like this one. The "gift" was exactly as described both times. But, hmmm, we did end up buying an overpriced timeshare at one of those... Don't get me wrong, I love the timeshare we got (WorldMark) but prices on the used market are WAY less than new.

It's not a scam. ITS a TIMESHARE. Yes they do give you the free gifts, BUT its only good Sunday-tuesday departure, and the Hotels to Vegas is not a "4 starhotel" like Caesar/MandalayBay. What they do is try to get you to buy a time share. They buy these free rooms in bulks, so its cheap, and they will put you in a hotel that does "timeshare" also. So when you are there in VEGAS, they will offer you another free trip or buffets, and try to persudae you on a second trip.

It's time consuming, and PEER pressure is there.

Do a search for "worldmark" on eBay and you'll be able to buy the exact same deal for ~50% of what they try to sell at the presentation.
