[2023] ABOUND POINTS NO LONGER WILL BE OFFERED AS PRESENTATION GIFT

It’s been over 10 years since I went to a meeting, but the 500 Abound points convinced me to try one more time. I'm hopeful I’ll learn something useful, but the odds are low.

In and out in 50 minutes. The salesperson gave up after 30 minutes, even after specifically telling me up front it would last 90. Half truths and fear tactics were all she knew, I tried to tell her how I travel and my needs but she wasn't interested - she just kept singing the same song intended for others and belittled and outright denied that I was able to get the results I have had for 19 years via StarOptions and Interval. Oh, well, at least I got the 500 points!

About three weeks for us. 400 points and $100 in Marriott gift cards for about an hour having a really nice chat with the sales director at Manor Club.
 
Received a call from Crystal Shores on Marco Island today…the offer for attending a 90 minute presentation was 1. $300 Mastercard gift card and a Marriot Turkish towel. 2. 30,000 Bonvoy Points and Turkish Towel. 3. 400 Vacation Club points that expire in 2 years,and a Turkish towel…I told the rep I would think about it,and get back to them.

If you want Bonvoy, push for more. They offered us 40K. The Turkish Towel is apparently a bonus if you pre-gift. Nothing special really but they do take an electronic imprint of a credit card (no charge). So if you don't show up they will charge the card for their cash value of the gifts.

Our presentation wasn't all that bad. Only a rep that was a little POed that we seemingly go to a lot of presentations and didn't have any questions. And also one of the few who actually recognized me from my YouTube channel. She also "respectfully" told me that some of the tips and advice I give are wrong :)
