While our sales person was a lot nice then others I overheard, I came away not liking the pressure tactics. I'm glad our experience could be useful. @CleverDude: You got those prices 'dropping just for you' too? :) We had a great time at Universal with our tickets. Even though it was 3 hours of our time, we got to sit down and relax, so it wasn't a loss. I'm glad they gave you the cards. @ Miranda: Well, I came in pretty much a blank slate.

We didn't have anything to do before dinner, so we agreed to go to a timeshare presentation. We got $100 in Best Buy gift cards for going. We spent way too long there because they were tempting us with a lot of sales pitches and dropping prices, but we didn't give in. The "manager" was very annoyed, as was the salesguy, but we got our gift certs and left! We bought Christmas gifts with it the next week. While in San Fran for a conference, I brought my wife.
