it seems there are maybe a couple of "vouchers" presented to individuals when they log in to etours website by putting in their PIN and email address
the fine print on some .....they would receive tickets "after attending" a 90 minute timeshare presentation
on others, ( it may be a "canadian thing" ) was they would be "invited" to "schedule a "tour" to explore the value of vacation ownership
supposedly you can pick them up "upon arrival" at Vacation Village at Fantasyworld II which is close to the 535/192 intersection ( on street over )
well, much to the person's chagrin that i met on friday, ( she said i had to take a 90 tour to receive the tickets that were suppost to be free for filling out the "online survey" ), i told her that acording to my voucher we could pick the tickets up "upon arrival" and that nowhere did it say we had to take a 90 minute tour, only that we would be invited to schedule a "tour", and that if i was invited i would decline the invitation
i did notice that she "scrawled" on my internet voucher......."refused to tour"
she sighed, did some magic with her fingers on the computer and a few seconds later i had a "printed voucher" with the Etour logo on it in hand which she said i had to take across the foyer to "redeem" ( the voucher did have an expiry date on it of 07/04/04 )
we did get two Star passes good for two consecutive days at either Universal park ( NOT both ) when we redeemed the "voucher"
not wanting to leave anything to chance and since we were going to universal city walk to have supper at Nascar, we did a side trip to guest relations at Universal
we asked them how long the tickets were valid for, he scanned one and said there were by default ( computer thingy ) good until 2030 and even then if not used by then could be updated to the NEW expiry date when the computer was "rolled"
once they are used, they must be used on two consecutive days
so YES, you get two free tickets but that was not their intention, their real intention was to "have" you tour their timeshare location and perhaps BUY from them before getting the tickets
but in this case the language on the voucher i got at least, left some "wiggle" room ( other's language say they have to attend the presentation before receiving the tickets )
is the promotion devious, YES since the language used is vague on the "survey" just a mention of a thank you for doing the survey being two free tickets...nothing about the necessity for a timeshare tour
even the email language did not mention "timeshare"
best of luck to others on this, but they may change the rules by the time you get there
