My wife and I were offerred a 3 nite stay at Emerald Cove campground in Earp, CA. We knew it came with a requirement to attend a 90 minute pitch for a campground timeshare, which interested us. One of the additional tidbits thrown in with the offer is a gift of a $200 gas rebate, and dinner at their "clubhouse". Upon arrival, it took us less than 10 minutes to decide that this was not a place for us. The campground was dusty, and not kept up very well. The "clubhouse" was a multi use building that was hardly suited for a dinner. The use of the word "clubhouse" was a joke. We attended the 90 minute presentation the next day, and the sales person was not a "happy camper". Her 1st shot at us was to try to get us to commit our interest at the outset. She told us that if we were not interested, we could go now. I said "what if we go?" She told us that we would lose the gifts, which she held on her side of the table, and we would have to pay $50 per night to stay. We sat through it. She was rude the entire time, probably trying to get us to leave, so I just kept asking her questions about CRA and the other campgrounds. Her answers were ridiculous. Bottom line is that we survived, and got our gifts, which included the gas rebate, which brings me to the point of this complaint. The rebate certificate requires you to activate it within 30 days. Fuel must be purchased from Shell service stations only. Receipts must be imprinted, and, get this---no more than $50 per receipt, and the receipts must be at least 60 days apart. No problem there, but the OFFER EXPIRES IN 240DAYS from the date of issue. Unless you activate the certificate the day it is issued, which they don't tell you to do, it is impossible to get in the last $5o rebate---so in reality, it's a $150 rebate. I called them later to confirm this, and was told "if you do it just right, you can make it happen". Good luck on that! I then asked if they had my Activation Form on file, and they would not confirm that it was activated. They also tout a "Jackass Flats" 9 hole golf course. It truly is Jackass Flats. The whole place should be name Jackass Flats, not Emerald Cove, and if you get sucked in to buying there, you have to be a j******!
