My mother, step-father and I were "invited" to a time share presentation while in Mazatlan. The presentation was given. When my step-father said no, they turned to my mother. When she said no, they turned to me. When I said I couldn't commit to this right then and there? The insults began.

I vacationed in Cancun in mid December 2006. At the airport I was approached by a representative of Moon Palace and promised a couple of sightseeing trips if I attended a sales presentation.

My wife and I stopped at Cozumel during a cruise. Our excursion was cancelled due to the weather so we wandered around for a bit before we ended up talking to Justin at El Cid about an RCI membership. We were tempted with a free, all inclusive day pass just for listening and "keeping an open mind" about RCI. The presentation was supposed to last only an hour. After an hour and one-half we we're totally confused about the whole program. Then the pressure began. We had several people coming and going from our table and we... read full review »

My wife and I were scammed by Jerry Forney who sold us a 4 week membership at Grand Miramar on August 12, 2010. Our contract stipulates that not only would Grand Miramar buy out our Cabo timeshare for $24810 but that if we do not return for the next 10 years, we would be guaranteed rent per year totaling $5600. None of that has happened. We have rescinded the contract in writing and have demanded Grand Miramar buy out the timeshare or refund the $28000 we paid. Bank of America may have some liability, since Grand Miramar produced brand new... read full review »
