Hilton Time share resort, Los Cabos for 399 USD+ tax?!?

Usually, if you decline their initial offers to sign up for these previews 1-2 times, they will sweeten the pot with even more credit, etc. This past year, we got 3 nights in Vegas for $199 USD, with $199 USD credit on check-out, a $250 USD Hilton gift certificate, and 18 months to use the preview.

Honestly, the sales pitches are pretty hilarious. I can't believe people get sucked into all their mental manipulation tactics - think of car dealership on steroids. We quite enjoyed seeing how they tried to make it seem like a "good deal". We did the math in front of them, and I think the finance rate was something ridiculous, like 40-50% APR or something that would amount to almost $100k USD over the term.

If you are ever interested, you can buy these titles from people re-selling for pennies on the dollar. If bought on the re-sale market, they can actually be a really good deal for those who have the aspiration and flexibility to use HGV properties every year.

I finally told them "look, we don't have any money, we're just here for the free night stay and the dvd player!" and they left us alone. This was at horseshoe resort, prolly 25yrs ago.
