Advantages: i cant see any for the money you have to fork out for a 'free' holiday

Disadvantages: hard sell,lies, and costs alot

i dont understand the process of what happens before you arrange your holiday but i know you pay a fee of about £40. the flights are bought 'in bulk' like a travel agent. if they buy a flight for say £100 they add x amount for profit so now we are up to £150. the price you pay for your 'buy one get one free flight' is £260. they buy 2 flights for £200, add their profit and take off your £40 fee. the sales clerks for the 'sunseekers' department(i dont know if it is still called this)which is the department you go through to book this is usually made up of mainly teenagers who have no idea what they are on about and will lie through their teeth to get you to book 'your perfect resort' as they are on ALOT of commision.if you have a hard sell on hiring a car it is because thats what makes them the most commission.also they will ask what your annual salary is you have to earn over a certain amount to go as if you are on less than 15k a year you cant afford to buy a timeshare.

Summary: my advice is to not take the offer at all
