but it is only for certain locations and I have to pay the taxes and a $50 fee to use it. Now I have been complaining that me the Hubby need a vacation and soon (we have 6 kiddos at home), but I feel kinda reluctant to use this coupon that I won. I am afraid it is a scam or that I will end up paying way more out of pocket than I would if I chose a cheaper Hotel line. Plus there is the cost of traveling to the destination and food/expenses.
If you won a free stay at a Hotel would you use it even if it did cost you out of pocket? what would you weigh your decision on mostly?

Well sometimes they are just linked to a timeshare presentation or vacation homes. They will make you sit thru a presentation. But do a search on the company.I have gone to many, but not before I did a little investigation. And do not be pressured into buying anything. I did buy a timeshare, but not from them, I got it really cheap on Ebay.
Only you can decide if it is worth it. I book rooms with priceline and can get them around $50-70 per day. So decide what is best for you.

Thanks for the response, I don't think it is a time share thing but ya never know. It is tempting because the are great locations and Hotels and I think I would end up paying alot to find the quality somewhere else. The only drawback I can't get over is the limited locations, I have to choose between only 10 places and most are many states away.
