Author: Just got my Marriott Visa card statement and I usually don’t look through the offers and ads included, but one stood out. It read “3,500 Marriott Rewards Points or a $25 VISA Gift Card”.
Here’s the jist:
You need to call and set up an over-the-phone appointment where Marriott’s Vacation Club “steals” approximately 30 minutes of your time to tell you about the value of owning a Marriott Timeshare property. For that you get the equivalent of $25 in the from of a Visa gift card or 3,500 points added to your Marriott Rewards account. I chose the points.
Call 800-527-1889 or visit www.Marriott-Timeshare.com/VISA for more information.
There’s a page full of generic rules, but some of them could be dealbrakers:
- Open to couples and individuals making $60,000 per year or more
- Only open to residents of AK, CT, DE, GA, IL, KS, ME, MD, MA, MO, NJ, NM, NY, NC, OH, PA, SC, TX, VT, VA & WY
- 18+
- Expiration date is 3/25/2009, so act fast!
The agent I spoke with set up an appointment for Friday at 10:30 AM (only times available at this point are weekdays early AM), so I’ll let a Marriott rep waste 30+ minutes of my cell airtime.
Have a nice clicK life,

Hi,
That was the easist 3,500 points I have ever made. The lady talked for 15 minutes and then let me go.
Thanks for the link.
Great that it worked out for you! In my situation, they find out my Mom booked an encore package w/ them and they told me I couldn’t get the “gift”. They said I can still listen to the presentation, but I wouldn’t get the reward. Ha! I said no thanks…
Your points should post within 6-8 weeks, but be on the look out. Marriott Vacation Club presenation points have never posted automatically for me. You may have to end up requesting them so keep the # handy (or just come back to the blog post
).
