First of all....the incentives, a joke. The \"free play\" or cash to play is for Casino Royale on old machines that never pay out. . The meals that are offered, only a very few select restaurants that very few people ever go to. Friends of ours just did the presentation and they were given $150 in master card cash cards. Ask for those.....those worked for doing purchases in town. You want something you can actually get true value out of. Now our story....we caved and bought in after corny sales, but we looked at it as a retirement plan. They will offer you a free trip to Hawaii after buying. this is a joke. There are so many restrictions and deadlines to meet that it made it almost next to impossible to book unless you had no kids schedules to work around. It might only work for a retired couple considering how flexible you had to be in order to take the trip. When we bought in 2014 we paid $9000. Our friends just did it and they were offered $6500 for the same deal. Hold out for the lower prices!!! They will keep offering them to you. They apparently even offer a trial package to some which would have been a nice option. Be aware. They will sell it to you saying you only need 5000 points to book. They will say that through the whole presentation. but be aware: 5000 POINTS IS ONLY FOR 30 DAYS OR LESS BOOKINGS.. They don't tell you this until you go to sign on the dotted line, then they tell you all the small print stuff. If you are a planner, your stays will cost you a lot more in points, a lot of times, way more than what you have. YOUR POINTS EXPIRE EVERY 2 YEARS, you cannot save them up. So they want you to buy extra points, again only in 30 DAYS OR LESS. When we went back for the university they try to upsell you on the points (another way to get more money out of you) We can't get out of it now but be aware. We are going to try and make use of this the best way we can."^^ . "16"^^ . "1"^^ . .
