Default $300 to sit thru a time-share sales pitch

I got an offer to sit thru a time-share sales presentation and I will be paid $300 to do it. I accepted (seems like a no-brainer) and will have to drive from metro Phoenix to Sedona (~1.5 hours) and spend 90 minutes listening to the sales pitch. What can I expect? Will it be 'torture'? How hard will it be to get away? I have absolutely no intention of buying a time share but I know it'll be a hard sell of some kind. Are they allowed to wiggle out of paying me my money? And, finally, are they nuts to pay me $300 and how can this be worth it to them?

This has been the power-on greeting on my cellphone since that episode aired.

Oh, and don't bring a checkbook or anything, just in case you get tempted.

Try and watch the south park episode where they go skiing for a taster.


And to help, tell yourself 'could be worse. It could be 3am, and i could be stuck in a men's cubicle with a guy named Seabass'.

I'm going next Wednesday. How about a re-cap of the South Park episode? I doubt I'll catch a re-run. And that last part was just plain weird.

Just keep saying no, cause they will lower their offer and come at you from every direction.

$300 isnt bad, i got a trip to vegas that i never used.
