Should I go?

Question

I just got engaged and in my eagerness to start planning ended up registering at a bunch of different wedding planning sites...now people wont stop calling me! A lady called me the other night and said that I won an all-inclusive trip to Mexico and that I only have to pay air fare. She said there was no catch, but that I would have to go to a 90 minute presentation to hear the pitch about the products her company sells at a hotel downtown on Saturday. Should I go?

Answer 1

You will be pestered and berated to buy their products. If this sounds like a wonderful way to spend 90 minutes of your weekend, then by all means, go.

Answer 2

The 90 minute presentation is the catch. Sometimes those trips are ok sometimes they are not. I found the trips they offer are for a limited time, limited space. They do not include taxes and extras that normally go with a trip. But if you like the company offering this than go. Many times these presentations are very pushy. Learn to say no when not interested. Hope this helped.

Answer 3

I go to these kind of trips all the time to Branson, Mo., Reno and Vegas, Orlando and Tampa. It is a cheap way to take a short get away if you don't mind a 1-2 hr presentation, and are strong enough not to buy what they are selling. In the end, the choice is up to you, just remember, they are trying to sell you something! So eighter plan on buying or be strong and say no, but enjoy the vacation anyways. Hope this helped.

Answer 4

There is always a catch especially when you are asked to go to some presentation then you are forced to buy things you don't want or need if the trip is all inclusive it should also include air fare

dont waste your time

Answer 5

You will be attending a HIGH PRESSURE time-share presentation. I can't make those capital letters big enough. It WILL be longer than 90 minutes, and the people there are professionally trained to pressure you relentlessly until you buy a time share.

I've been to Mexico, and really the airfare is most of what you spend to go there. The package you get will also have time restrictions, and might not be somewhere you want to go. Not worth it.

Answer 6

This is called a SCAM honey! People are too lazy to earn money to old-fashioned way. Im nieve too, but I have learned lessons in my time. Don't go, it will look great when they talk to you, but as soon as you sign your name on the dotted line, the fine print tkaes hold. You should stay away from registering. Stay away from David's Bridal, they are the same way. They forward all your info to "bridal helpers".

Your best bet, get organized, search the theknot.com to ease your eagerness and get a couple of Bridal Books/magazines.

Happy Planning!!

Answer 7

oh, crap! I would go back online or call and tell those people to stop contacting you.

There is ALWAYS a catch, so that 90-minute presentation will lead to trying to sell you something, trust me!

Any site that charges you just to register for gifts is trying to SCAM you. I would use only the big-name sites.

Best of everything!

Answer 8

It's a waste of time, plus it's going to be longer than 90 min. I was in mexico in April and you wouldn't believe the horror stories I heard from people who went to something like this.

Answer 9

This is nothing but a ploy to try to get you to buy a time share-I got that very same phone call. No catch my foot! think about it-whose gonna give you a trip for free? no-definetly don't waste your time! good luck with everything else tho! and btw-pretty dumb of yahoo to delete your other question!

Answer 10

Dont waste your time. They did the same thing for me when I got married. The mail will stop after your wedding day. Just wait. Congrats on the wedding.
