O/T - Got an offer from Sheraton Hotels - are these good offers?

patswin · Sep 26, 2006

Got a letter in the mail last week from Sheraton hotels offering a package of 4 nights/5 days in Orlando for $169 plus a $100 voucher for DisneyWorld. I figured it was to pitch a timeshare but there was no mention of it in the letter. Are these offers legit or a scam - I don't think its a scam since Sheraton hotels are well known. My wife and I are considering it since we have 2 kids under 5 and it appears to be a good deal. I tried looking on their web site but it does not have any info on this package just their deals in general.

Anybody else get this offer or do this package from them? Thanks

2 kids under 5 seems like that is to young to fully enjoy the park. I would wait till they are around 10 before you spend all that money just for the kids to get tired and want to go back to the hotel.

I can guarantee you it's a timeshare deal. Good deal if you don't mind spending 2 hours listening to a high pressure sales pitch & don't have a problem telling someone to F OFF, because that's about what it takes to get out of there.

Not sure about airfare but there are always ads for direct flights to Orlando for $129 or so roundtrip. I thought it was for timeshare also but there is no mention of it in the ad. Don't they have to tell you these things when you sign up

Yeah, it will be in the fine print somewhere.

Sheraton "Vacation Club", I'm sure. Timeshare.

Unless you've been through one of these before and & had no problem with it-pass on the bargain.

I deal with confrontational situations better than a LOT of people, and I was on the verge of going off on this guy. This shit is about as high pressure sales as it gets. Just tell them you're broke if you want an easy out.

Not a dime to your name & buried in debt. Say it with a smile & call him a sucker on the way out. :lolBIG: .
