Has anyone done the virtual “owner update”? Is it 90 minutes long? Are the gifts worth it?

I was invited to a virtual update and was offered 40,000 points or $200 gift card. It was 90 minutes and very low pressure. They offered me a few points and bundle options and an encore package when I turned down the offers, which I purchased.

I was invited today. I think that it was for maybe 30k Bonvoy points. I declined as I have a stay coming up.

Won't get you far trying to book a Marriott though. ;)
No, but it will get you a room in a high end Hyatt hotel; 35K Marriott points is about half what you need to get a room at a comparable Marriott hotel.
