Cheap Vacations! Hurry Up & Buy Before You Read.

$599 Cancun 4-Star Resort Vacation or $69 for 5 days in Hawaii. Don't these seem obviously too good to be true? Nope! There are always a few people willing to take the bait. Since part of my service is matching verifiable prices offered by the big online agencies I've seen my fair share of these ads. Google any particular destination or resort and you'll find thousands of cheap deals. I'm always surprised that people don't see right through these tactics. If this vacation typically costs $2,000 how in the world can someone offer is for 1/4 of the price? By obligating you to a timeshare presentation, of course! If you're on the hook for a decade of payments and fees, what's a little loss now?

Read the fine print on most of these unbelievable deals and you'll inevitably find a reference to some sort of timeshare pitch. They promise to only take a few minutes of your time, but search again for comments and you'll find hundreds of people who were held up on their vacation for hours or a whole day while subjected to high pressure salespeople or worse, stranded at another location after they refused to buy. Don't waste valuable vacation time, use a trusted travel advisor.
