High Pressure Sales?

[CardsFan81]

I didn't find the pitch to be high pressured at all. Our rep was GREAT about making sure we didn't feel pressured. The tour was a blast too. We were glad we did it.

We didn't buy DVC while we were on property b/c we wanted to make sure we weren't buying 'in the moment.' We also talked with random DVC members on our trip to find out what they liked and what they didn't like.

We didn't experience any pressure at all duringthe sales process! In fact we did not commit whilst we were on vacation, but phoned from home (UK) a few weeks later and paperword was sent out. We found DVC to be very professional, but not pushy and if you do commit whilst you are at the sales centre, you meet the quality assurance manager (after the sales rep) to ensure that you fully understand everything. They have no problem if you need time toi think and go back another time or commit later from home!

We have added to our points on two occassions and always had the same good experience. The "free" ice cream at the Saratoga Springs sales centre is good too! (Its the most expensive "free" ice cream in the world mind you! Costr us about $10000 as I recall ).

We started with 270 points ay VWL and have since added a further 270 at VAKL.

Make sure you understand the annual dues figures that are payable annually rather than via a payment plan! We find DVC perfect for us and have done a "points + cash" cruise twice now also using our DVC points...

Have fun!

It defintely was not a high pressure sale for us. Jonathon bascially laid everything out and allowed us to make the decision. You were in a small little office, but its not like they left you there for hours or the heat was left one either. My parents felt more comfortable making the decision after the presentation as well.

A few years ago, my parents looked into the Marriott Vacation Club. We stayed at the Canyon Villas @ Desert Ridge in Phoenix in exchange for attending the sales pitch for 1.5 hours.

Well after 3 hours, my parents were totally whizzed off, this was high pressure, multiple sales people in the rooms at different times, tiny little room etc. Marriott's price was about $30,000, or twice what the standard DVC investment was and the perks were no where near as good.
