    Dudes and dudettes,

    Ask ko lang if nakaexperience na kayo ng ganitong klaseng promo. A certain John Reyes called me just now congratulating me for I won daw a 3-days 2-nights vacation package (accomodation only) in Days Hotel (my choice kung san), free of any financial obligation whatsoever (daw?). Just have to attend a 90 minute presentation in their office in Rufino Towers Makati afterwhich I could get my GC daw worth 20K. Totoo ba ito? Sinakyan ko lng for the meantime makulit kse eh. Appreciate any infos regarding this. Thanks!

    not really a hoax. but you have to go to their office, attend an hour of seminar then they will offer you something you will have to have a cash outlay, then you get the free package.

    I've attended something similar. They would try to sell you something like a time-share plan during that 1 to 3 hours you will be there.

    NAkaatend na ko sa ganyan. ang sabi nanalo kami sa contest ng isang fastfood chain (POPEYE) meron ka daw free 3day and 2 nights hotel accomodation. They try to sell you a unit sa isang resort that cost almost 750thou. and a 1.5thou yearly maintenance fee sa unit. Pero u can only use this for 1 week a year at scheduling kasi marami kayong mayari. Tubong lugaw ito kasi sa 1year divide mo sa 1week ganyan kayo karaming mayari ng isang unit, plus lahat ng maintenance fee nyo lahat sa isang taong ang laki ng kita nila. Pipilitin ka nilang magbayad , pagsinabi mo wala kang cash dahil hindi ka naman nagdadala ng cash na malaki, sasabihin credit card o kaya sasama sila sa bahay mo para kunin ang pera, ihahatid ka pa nila sa bahay mo para makakuha ng pera sa iyo, ganoon sila kaatat na mapagbayad ka. Meron bang nanalo na kailangan pangmagbayad o bumili ng unit. Style nila parang sa family firt na innaannounce na merong bumili at magpapalakpakan pa sila sa office dahil meron nanaman silang NALOKO>

    Naranasan ko na ring matawagan ng mga 'yan, kakagat na sana ako -- nang marinig ko na kailangang pumunta sa office nila sa West Ave to attend a seminar. Um, sorry, abala na yun masyado. I can spend my office hours on more productive things.

    Asahan mo yang mga yan at certain events, bigla ka na lang lalapitan at bibigyan ng raffle coupon. Pag napirmahan mo na at naihulog sa tambiolo, kukunin pa yung phone number mo. Kaya ako, fake number na binibigay ko, para hindi na ako istorbohin.

    My wife used to travel a lot around Luzon, so she's stayed in quite a few hotels and inns, including Days Hotel. Sabiy niya, marami pang mas magandang alternatives out there.

    Hindi naman, kasi you still get something in return. What I'm not comfortable with is the idea that you have to shell out some cash for something that you should have won in the first place.

    Na-invite na rin ako sa ganyan. I said no, but I did get my prize: Days Hotel Cebu!

    I would've used it pero di na ako naka-puntang Cebu before the certificate expired.

    Waste of time. Ang kulit nila. Pipilitin ka talaga.

    I attended their seminar before to the fact na wala akong babayaran or cash-out in any of their promo according to the caller. It is really not a seminar kasi one-on-one kayo ng kanilang representative and take note ang galing nilang magsulat ng pabaliktad para mabasa mo lang.

    During their trash talking, nagtaray na ako kasi sabi ko, I am not interested and they are wasting my time. They say I cannot get my prize kung hindi ko tatapusin iyung seminar nila. I said I don't care sa prize dahil tiyak sa malalayong probinsiya ang nasa raffle nila. kaya tumayo na ako, pinabunot pa rin nila ako ng prize pero sa Day's Hotel Dumaguete ang nakuha ko. Sabi ko na nga ba...

Days Hotel Promo???
