Spending Strike: Day 13 - Time Share Presentations for Resort Credit

I'm going to keep this post short and sweet today, folks; because really, I don't have much to say about Time Share presentations.

One way some people save money on amenities or activities while vacationing at a resort is by attending Time Share presentations. By giving up 1 to 3 hours of your day and listening to a presentation about purchasing vacation 'time' at a resort or condo {that you 'share' with other vacationers}, you can earn resort credit for the gift shop, the spa, restaurants, or off-site excursions.

John and I don't intend to purchase an souvenirs while in Mexico, nor do we intend to use the spa or order off of the for-purchase menu. We will not be attending a Time Share presentation simply because our time on vacation is precious to us.

However, many people do sit through these presentations for the resort credit or extra incentives. It is a great way to do something for a low, low cost.

Just weigh your options first, and remember that you will be giving up a chunk of your vacation time in order to get the credit or incentive.
