No, I don't have any intention of buying, just want to see what the best offers are. Traveling to Harbour Lake shortly and unfortunately wife received a "welcome" call with offer to tour Lakeshore Reserve for $100 Marriott cash or $100 discount on theme parks. This is not really appealing for me and I'm not Marriott Rewards member so I don't care about points.

So I'm assuming some of the folks here have gotten better offers, so if you have please let me know.

Again, I'm not going to buy, I have Sabal Palms resale, booked the current trip for $360 and have been to a Marriott presentation before.

While it is a brand new Kindle, it must be stated that it is not the new Kindle Fire. The best deal is the MRPs given a price of about $0.01 per point. The cash is second and with the Kindle now priced around $79.00 it isn't a great incentive.

Well I'm assuming the offer gets better

when you are there and decline once or twice... Sounds like not much though, wish it was a Kindle Fire!

I have heard some people offered 20,000 MRPs for a Oceana tour. I don't think it could get much richer than that.
