Marriott Timeshare Deals? Vacation with a tour

[talulabelle]

A long while back I had a link to a Marriott page that offered very low priced introductory offers for some of their properties if you took the tour...I can't seem to find the page on their website anymore, anyone know if they still do this and if so where I can go to book?

I'm a Marriott owner, and used to get offers for friends to come to Ko Olina (Oahu), on a special rate (we own there) and do a tour. They haven't offered any deals like that recently at all; I checked since we went in June and our friends came too - they just got a good rate.

You can always see if anyone has one for rent on www.redweek.com though.

They may periodically do those offers, but even the points or whatever they give for a presentation to me aren't much anymore - they used to give a better deal for those.

We were just at the Grande Vista and were offered a $75 Amex gift card for taking the tour. I said my time was worth a lot more and they then offered an additional resort credit but didn't say how much.
