    The vacation deal Bass Pro Shops offer?

    I filled out a form for this or just give them some basic info now they call me ever so often. So I'm wondering is this really true? I know they won't you to buy a time share once there. Have any of you guys did this before?

    Re: The vacation deal Bass Pro Shops offer? (Quickrelease)

    I have to say it is a real good deal. We got to stay at Cedar Lodge a few days real cheap. they give you a $25 gift card to BPS when you sign up and then another $50 after the briefing. On ours they put you up in a nice hotel by the lodge and then bus you to the lodge for the 90 min briefing. We chose the upgrade option and stay at the lodge at a much reduced rate. I think it is a small price to pay when you listen to the 90 min briefing and tour and then enjoy the rest of the time you are there. Wife and I listened to the guy and the wife actually wanted to buy a time share and I wanted my $50 gift card! Anyway, to us it was well worth it for a nice 3-4 day get away real cheap. You have to wait 15 months before doing it again and we plan on doing the same thing again. The time share point system they have is all over the country at really nice places but to us it only pays off if you have the time to travel. It is a heck of a way to get folks in to listen to them and lots of folks use this and have a good time for a few days on their dime. Hope this info helps.

    Haven't done the BPS but done two time share deals. I done one in Las Vegas that was a good experience the other was in Datona Beach I had to threaten to kick the guys arse to get out of the place. Hope you have a good one if you go. It being a place like BPS probably will be

    My Wife just got a call for one through BPS. How much is it going to actually cost to do this on average? What do they pay for?

    It's a misprint. It was supposed to read "Vacination Deal..."

    honestly it was so cheap I do not remember. They know people take advantage of it and they get a lot of folks signed up and you give them an hour and a half of your time. At the end of that time you tell them not interested and they give you the gift cards. Again they give you a reduced rate at a nearby Ramada I beleive but we took the reduced upgrade and stayed at big cedar lodge. Like I said before we are going to do it again as soon as the 15 month window to do so is up in a month or two. Go to BPS and listen to the person explain it. It is not a rip off just a chance for them to lure you there to sell a time share. Heck of a way to stay at big cedar lodge or one of their other places that is normally expensive.

    Like Jim said... Use it as an inexpensive getaway for a couple of days... Did the Big Cedar trip @ Branson, listened to the pitch, then took my gift cards and said thanks but no thanks.

    Wife and I went to Big Cedar for the honeymoon. After we got there, we signed up to listen to their presentation and got $200 in BPS gift cards for our time.

    Just make sure you're good at saying no, because they're persuasive and very persistent.
