<prompt> Human: Long story short... She spent 80 to get a three night stay at any one of a number of timeshare resorts. I know that we will have to listen to a ton of presentations and I frankly dont want anything to do with it. Any advice to shut this down? Any websites to direct her to, to let her know what a waste this is?  <response>: FWIW, I did the same thing this past week. I paid 250 down and got a 4 night vacation in Las Vegas with 5 of my friends. Had the time of my life. I didnt sign anything, didnt give my credit card, and listened to the entire time share presentation for 2 hours while my friends did their own thing and got my money 250 back. Make sure that you can get all of your money back after listening to the entire presentation. Its really not that big of a deal. I also had to pay about 120 in taxes and additional fees because I chose dates that were considered high season or whatever, but there were plenty of completely free dates.
