Basically, you get a free trip, but you have to attend a timeshare presentation, which will culminate with hard sell tactics in the end.
In Hawaii, my wife and I did a couple of these things, to get discounts and such. Saved a few hundred bucks, which was nice, but they really do turn on the sales tactics, and get forceful. As long as you can say no, and aren't going to be pressured, it's fine to go to.
Prior to meeting me, my wife and her sister attended a presentation in Florida. Yup, you guessed it. We are oh-so-proud owners of a timeshare in Florida, that we haven't gone to a single time in the 5+ years we have been married. Only good thing is we have gotten our money's worth by swapping it for other places, but we aren't exactly ahead on the thing, more like just breaking even.
