Don't give in to these high pressure ripoff artists.
If they don't want you to sleep on a major financial transaction overnight, it isn't worth making.

I never agree to make any major financial decision when it is first presented to me.

Apparently, even after cancelling within 3 days of signing the papers, you better get it in writting from them that they received the cancellation notice and have cancelled your membership. If you don't get something in writting verifying that they have cancelled it (phone converstations that confirm that it's cancelled do not count) then they will just keep your account open and harrass you for payments repeating that they have no record of your cancellation.

I've passed on many deals that had to be done that day. And I must admit I've lived to regrete many of them. My advise to anyone close to thinking about getting involved with Timeshare is BUY IT on the spot. If, when you get home, you decide to cancel then do so, at least you did not miss out on any true promotions should you keep it.
