Clearwater was relatively painless and had very good breakfast pastries and coffee lol. Salesman wasn't too pushy after realizing we knew the program well, had used Ovation to unload most of our points and were just riding out the remainder of our Mexico affiliate points until they expire in a couple of years. We got a towel, a blue insulated cup and a $150 Amex card.
Three days later, Bonnet Creek was awful. Because of our Ovation and affiliate points situations, they somehow couldn't figure out our membership status on their computers. They kept us sitting in the waiting area for 35 minutes trying to figure it out, NO BREAKFAST lol, and then came out and apologized, but we were not permitted to attend the presentation. I don't know if something was appended to our account after the Clearwater presentation, or if the sales reps at Bonnet were just incompetent, but it was a very aggravating and annoying situation. We had advised the parking pass person that we had just done Clearwater a few days earlier and she literally begged us to attend at Bonnet because she needed the credit, and she promised to match Clearwater's $150 Amex card. We had time to kill and we were hungry so we agreed. Then, we not nuthin' - just a glass of water out of the dispenser while we were waiting.
I have been solicited since then at National Harbor and Patriot's Place to attend so I guess our account wasn't flagged to not solicit - but I'm never attending again after what happened at Bonnet Creek.
