Free Holiday: CLC

After just a few weeks of comping I got a phone call from CLC saying I'd "won" seven night's self-catering accommodation in Florida, Spain, Turkey or Tenerife (flights not included). All I have to do is sit through a 90-minute presentation up the road in Milton Keynes. I'll also get a £75 shopping voucher for my trouble. Looking up others' experiences of CLC's promotions on the web throws up a mixed bag. Many say they are just a hard-sell timeshare company and will hassle you and make it difficult to access your free holiday. Others say it's a good deal. CLC told me they are just promoting their holidays and want positive feedback. Anyone have any experiences to share? I still haven't decided what to do.

Any other companies to avoid?

As an aside, some package holidays might be cheaper than the cost of flights.

Thanks for that. Yes, and when I worked out the cost of flights, transfers, spends, fuel and parking to airport, pet care, and a week off work as a self-employed person, I started to go cold on the idea. Already booked up for a package to Spain in September anyway.
