My apology in advance for going a little off topic. I have never done time shares but the couple we are going with in April went thru the same issues with having to make a decision in 24 hours. In talking with them and others who also own time shares for years, it is no longer as easy as it was now that the exchange companies are running things. I had heard if they couldn't get a date and number of rooms you just hung up called back again got another agent and "suddenly" the option they talked to the previous agent was available. It was the luck of the draw on who you spoke with.
