good morning...
Staying at Oceana Palms 3 nites Thurs-Sun this week. Looked into this with DC points and was staggered by a 3500 pt. cost. I used my handy dandy MR black Visa with the 45% discount and snagged the unit for $900. At $0.41 MF /pt using pts would consume $1400 in MF. I saved over $500 in value by using the "card"..
They offered a $250 card toward hotel room or 20K MR points. They also promised to credit my stay toward the purchase of new DC points and I could use the $250 card at another Marriott stay!!! I told them I knew more about the program than 90% of the reps and had ZERO interest in new Trust points. The nice lady told me that it didn't matter and they wanted Mrs. Puck and I to attend and put me in a 8:30 am slot (not to ruin the day).
At 8:30 Fri AM we will report for some snacks and the sales pitch!!!I can't resist playing "I know more than you, with the salesman" Since they invited me, I plan on getting the "official" resale policy and restrictions and clear up the 60 day thing!!!
If I get the "need to supercharge" your legacy point thing, I am going to ask "flat out" Does a purchase of minimum Trust points morph ALL of your Legacy points?? We all the answer is no, but I am curious as to the pitch. I will ask for it in writing signed by a manager!!!
Will report back on Friday afternoon...
The $250 will drop the price of my 3 nite stay to $650...not bad for 3 nite Ocean front just before Easter in palmBeach!!!!
Before, I get the don't waste your time stuff $250 over 90 is about $175/hr to sit in a nice room and talk...Don't think to omany peple would turn down a job at $175/hr...
