OLCC Lattitudes Program

My wife, family and I will be returning to OLCC in July on a week we purchased in 2004 as part of their lattitudes program. We spent $1,000 for this week, so plan to make good use of it. At the time in 2004, we traded into OLCC and were very impressed with the property. We were new to TS, and they applied a very hard sell when we went for the presentation. After 3 1/2 hours, we agreed to buy the lattitudes program just to get out of there.

The lattitudes program allows us to stay in one of the newest 2BD units in the back of the property, and we reserved 2004 pricing yo buy 2 or 3 BR units. The problem is that since 2004 we have discovered resale properties, and recently bought sufficient Fairfield points to cover our TS needs for the foreseeable future.

My question is whether anyone has been on a lattitudes visit to OLCC recently. How bad will the hard sell be this time? Is there a way to get maximum value for the money we spent for this program, even though we will not be buying a TS unit?

I know we will have a good time at OLCC because we like th property. I look at the $1,000 like a rent fee, so while it is overpriced, I can live with it. I just want to avoid being pushed around at the sales presentation, and I want to get whatever additional value I can for what I have paid. Any tips or ideas are greatly appreciated.

Honesty is the best policy. Tell them that since your last visit, when they pressured you into buying this latitudes week, just to get out of there, you have discovered resales and you can buy ten timeshare weeks for what they are charging, so please do not waste another 3 1/2 hours of my time.

Hi Allan. I agree, just tell the salesperson you've become educated in timesharing since your first visit, and now buy resale.

I'm not sure what the stipulations were on your pre agreed lattitudes pkg, so even if you tell the salesperson up front that you will only be purchasing resale in the future, if you agreed to a presentation of a certain amount of time.....you could have to sit there for that amount of time, but no more than that. When the times up....the times up, just remind them of the pre-agreed presentation time limit.
