Promo offer from Oceana Palms

I keep getting phone calls from Oceana Palms offering a 3-night stay for 2 couples for $149. + a dinner at Donald Trump's private club. Of course, this requires attendance at a sales presentation. First the offer was for dates in June - too hot. Now, it is for the beginning of December. I'm curious if anyone else has gotten this offer and accepted it.

I was booking a Marriott hotel room and was given an offer, 4 nights in Orlando, 3 nights on HHI from 3 to 4 hundred dollars. I asked about Singer Island at end of January. I was offered 4 nights for $399, but it was a studio, my husband and I have stayed for a week in a studio at Ocean Pointe and I knew we would never do that again. (just too close for a week). To make a long story short I could add $199 and get a one bedroom at Ocean Pointe or $249 and stay in a two bedroom at Oceana Palms. I accepted the Oceana Palms. We stay from January 20 to 25 and from there we go to Beach Place Towers for two weeks in a two bedroom. This extends our vacation from January 20 to February 8th. We have to attend a presentation, they never said what the presentation was for, but I know and to be there for 5 more days was worth it. On Marriott's web page it is $509 a night plus tax. I have always wanted to stay there so I am giving myself an early birthday gift. (February is my birthday.)

Myoakley, your deal may be better than mine, but I decided to go for it. We may bring another couple and they do not have to go to the presentation.

We received the same phone call and explained to the caller we already had an ongoing Encore pkg to attend at OW next year. She said there would be no problem. When I went to book the owner pkg, all of a sudden it was a problem and we were not allowed to purchase. We ended up booking at Oceana Palms ,using our destination points and tacking on a stay at the beginning at the Marriott resort on Singer Island, using reward points. From there we'll be heading to Naples, then Orlando. This will all be in Feb. Trying out what it's like to be a "snowbird" in retirement!
