We aren't allowed to tell you, you won anything. In our script it's "You have qualified to take the trip... Your going to Florida and the Bahamas!!!" When you registered online, and you did register, (WE NEVER COLD CALL) You must have stated you were 21, and had a visa or M/C. Yay You Qualified! Come on down! We do require you to sit in on a 90 minute sales pitch for a time share, but that's 90 minutes out of a 7 day 6 night stay in Orlando, then 3 day, 2 night stay in the beautiful Daytona/coco beach area, and there is an optional 2 day, 2 night cruse to Nassau, you have to pay a $249(us) per person for the cruse, I think It's a port fee. And when you are in Orlando we give you an option for a rental car for 7 days or some passes to Universal Studios and some tickets related to that. The rental is the better option I think. We are supposed to inform you that your card will be charged that day, for the $998.00(us). You have the vacation option for 18 months and it's transferable provided the friend or relative you give or sell it to is twenty-one. I believe this to be a reputable company. There is a lot of info I'm leaving out I'm sure, I haven't been with this company long but I haven't smelled anything fishy yet. You get a sweet Florida vacation for cheep, all they ask you for is 90 minutes, $998.00(us), $249.00 per person IF you want to go to go on the cruse, The Hotel tax, It's $10-$20 per night. I think that's about it, Air fair isn't included but we'll help you book cheep air-fair! It is possible that a sales person can get too pushy, and if you don't want to buy a time share, don't. Just keep saying no. You're not obligated to buy one.
