I just hope they don't suggest a "contest"

Who are you kidding....you would be out as fast as Kramer was. :D

All of this reminds me of the last time I attended a MVC sales pitch... I started to walk into the presentation. I won't lie to you boys, I was terrified. But I pressed on, and as I made my way past the cheap breakfast offerings, a strange calm came over me. I don't know if it was divine intervention or the kinship of all living things, but I tell you Jont, at that moment I knew that I was going to say no.
 
Come on Fasttr....save the trust....save the trust

About 15 minutes before the presentation was to end, suddenly the great closer appeared before me. I tell ya he had sold one million points if he had sold one. As if sensing my presence he gave out a big bellow. I said, "Easy big fella!" And then as I watched him struggling with the whiteboard, I realized something was obstructing his talking. From where I was standing I could see directly into the mouth of the great closer and his lips were definitely moving. Then from out of nowhere a final push to sell the Trust points ensued, feeling like I had been tossed like a cork, again I found myself looking at him face to face. I could barely see from all of the numbers dancing in my head, but I knew something was there so I reached my hand into his mouth and pulled out the obstruction…it was a giant ball of half truths, slippery tactics and sales speak.

The other folks on the tour went wild....it was like Rocky 1.

We go to the Marriott presentations for the Marriott Reward points; I've probably accumulated over 100,000 points just from presentations. For me, that's worth it as I'm not traveling for business as much as I used to, so it keeps me in points! Also, I'm an information junkie and I always learn something new whether about timeshare ownership, Marriott or vacationing.

I agree! Info junkie is a good way to put it. I keep learning new stuff from some of these presentations.

I've thought that it would be interesting to request that the presentation be recorded and that representations made during the presentation be transcribed to become part of the binding contract documents. :hysterical:
 
I have kept track of the tours we have taken, I have them all accounted for except the very first one we did way back in the early 2000s. We have taken on average two per year since 2006 with as many as three in a calendar year and four in a rolling 12 month period.

It all adds up to 260,000 MR points for spending over 24 hours in a sales office.

Dioxide,

Do you think it is a worthwhile way to spend your vacation? You have effective spent 3 full daylight hours in a salesroom?

I know for sure I will not be setting foot in a presentation after my last experience!

Saved them from buying a full priced timeshare. TUG has t-shirts available that promote buying resale and many of us have supported TUG by purchasing the shirts.

That time is over 19 vacations of at least a week long each, if not two. So it really isn't that bad. It seems like an effective use of time for us since we now have enough points just from that for a travel package that we can extract a few thousand dollars of value from.

Of course, we use those points to supplement the others that we earn. There is no other way we would ever save up enough points to get to the levels needed for a travel package. It would take us a decade or more. Other than the credit card and a couple paid nights at a Marriott hotel each year, we have no other ways to earn reward points, unless we convert a week to MR points.
