  • DONT WASTE YOUR TIME! So I personally LOVE to go to Timeshare Presentations because I can always get AWESOME gifts for my time. We recently went to a BBQ festival in Chandler and a Sedona Highlands Resorts vendor tent was there, we were stopped and offered several "gifts" for attending a 90 min presentation at the Highlands office in North Phoenix. We were offered $50 cash, 4 movie tickets, 50.00 dinner gift card and a "free" vacation. I am seasoned in timeshares and have some family members that use them and others that have been completely ripped off. This is one of those companies that is a TOTAL SCAM. They tried to offer us a membership that was posed as real estate through RCI, to book vacations at a discounted value. During the sales pitch our presenter began to talk about all the vacations he has taken thanks to RCI. I looked at all the pictures and noticed that all the employees were in the same places, TOGETHER. Then I noticed that all their presentation material was dated, and used by all of them, same pitch, same vacation stories.... I started getting creeped out and after our 90 min we just wanted to get out of there. I went to the bathroom and began to read many reviews about not being able to book trips due to availability with RCI and of course I came across Yelp. Honestly with Groupon, Expedia, Tripmasters and all the different search engines out there, timeshares have become obsolete. This is basically a scam to charge you a $10,000 membership fee, including 12% interest and yearly HOA fees to maintain a membership to a travel search engine for the next 7 years. After saying no we had to end with 2 closers to wrap up the presentation and receive our gifts. The closers were very rude and condescending, they even continued to try to drop the price from $10k to $249 a year to use RCI. DONT DO IT! By the way, I usually get great gifts when I go to timeshare presentations (like in Mexico or Vegas) where 90 min is not a problem when you are getting free breakfast, several free excursions or awesome Vegas shows (valued at over $100 pp). This however was awful as we only received our $50 cash on the spot and the movie tickets had to be mailed. The restaurant gift card was an expired voucher to Restaurant.com and the free vacation was a voucher that included over $300 in service charges to redeem.... Like I said, don't even bother!
