Probably that it only takes one sucker to make their expense worthwhile.

Usually a high pressure timeshare presentation.

40 years ago, and obviously with a different company, the high pressure sales pitch was followed by a number of fees and taxes to be paid prior to any tickets materializing. Be careful.

The are not really free, you will need to pay typically a $50 registration fee, non-refundable. They don't go where you want or don't offer the locations you want and the windows are limited. OBW you will likely be subjected to another presentation during that trip as well. Read the terms and conditions...

As others have said, it sounds like a timeshare sales event. If you can just say no to high pressure sales then go for it. With any free cruise, you’d have to pay port fees and taxes. Just like when you win anything. Even on the price is right, you have to pay taxes on all that “free” stuff you won. So the showcase winner is usually in for a few thousand in taxes after they “win”

At our age, surely you have attended one of these events There is no event like this is going to simply give you a free trip. There is always a presentation to get you on the hook for something. If you have the free time, and the ability to say no you may get a free dinner out of it, but you will pay the price in time.
I love my wife's approach the last time I stupidly fell for a pitch in Clearwater. It was a rainy day, and we were corralled by a sidewalk offer for an offer of a free dinner. Thought it would be a good way to get in a dry space. They were pitching time share programs which are always a scam. You get a lot of last ditch offers and then passed to a higher-level pitcher for your next last-ditch order. They don't know how to accept no. Finally, she suddenly got Diabetes and said she was getting faint and needed to get her Insulin shot quickly before she convulsed. We were quickly handed our free dinner coupon and left. I am sure other approaches would also work such as I am getting nauseous etc. Have a ball. Take control, get your dinner and make an exit. Consider it a game that you need to win. Do not buy unless you can get a chance to review overnight. For sure if you cannot get that commitment, you are being scammed. |

Not so free. Falsly state 7 day cruise..useless. Only 3-4Then $100 dining is only to register a discount card for places in Orlando, coupons are better.
At least not high pressure but waste of time |
