Maui Marriott Timeshare Trip

Has anyone ever taken "advantage" of these offers? My husband and I received an offer for 6 days/5 nights at the Maui Marriott Resort & Ocean Club with a rental car for $299 a person. It seems like the only requirement is to attend the 90 minute sales presentation. Is this too good to be true?

My neighbor recently stayed at the Marriott Timeshare in Kaui, there wasn't any catch other than a high pressure presentation. They had a great time.

Caveat emptor! There's no such thing as a free lunch. Be wary of high pressured presentations for timeshare condos.

Stephanie,
We took advantage of the Kauai timeshare presentation in 1999. We had a great time at the resort.
I don't remember if the requirement of attending the timeshare was on our invitation. When we arrived, they offer another $100 off our charges for attending the timeshare. We went and spent about 3 hours there but did not buy anything.

Timeshares are a joke IMO.
People think they're 'saving money' but the restrictions and total cost of the time value of money make timeshare deals big losers in my book.
When it's vacation time, I want to go where I want, when I want and to stay where I want, no restrictions, and complete with hotel amenities.
Everyone's different, to be sure.
But just keep in mind, the timeshare industry is profitable for developers...who do you thinking is paying for the margins in the end? Same principle as casino resorts...cheap food, cheap rooms, what's the catch? There's always a catch or they wouldn't be in business.

If you are able to say "no", it is a great deal. The Maui Marriott timeshares are brand new and in a perfect location--I would definitely give it a whirl!
