Keep getting vacation offers from Marriott brands. Latest one is 5 days/4 nights in Cancun for $269. Of course the catch is you have to sit through a 2 hour sales pitch.

Anyone tried this? Worth it?

How do you get these offers? I’d be willing to sit through pretty much anything for 2 hours to get 5 days/4 nights in Cancun at that price.

Definitely worth it. Did one with Hilton. $450 for 3 nights in Vegas AND a 4 day cruise to the Bahamas. And they threw in a $100 voucher to stay at any Embassy Suites location I want The sales pitch does suck, but you just have to say no at the end.

These are a great deal!

NOT worth it. Don’t waste your time like that. If you really have time on your handset volunteer, do some good and feel good.

A1 and P1, how bad was the sales pitch? I'm pretty sure I can tune out and say no, but my other half is the type to start believing the BS and making my life miserable for saying no!
