Early on, we took the bait but found it was very difficult to get them to believe "no" was the answer. Now, we explain up front we have no intention of buying.

I got a rental car for a week for $100...the catch (after the fact) was my wife and I had to spend a day in Cancun visiting the Tre Rios resort and listening to the pitch. We ended up buying a unit that had just been sold and it is now paid off. We will be using our time for the first time next year.
