Hmm...If the offer was better here at MKO I would tour every week. The offer of 10k bonvoy points is not enough for me. Now if it was at least 35k bonvoy points it would get my attention.

Our offers have been pretty decent. We are golfers and at Palm Desert (Jan) and next week (Dec), we take 2 rounds of golf + $100 gift card. Alternate offers at Palm Desert are $200 gift card, 30K Bonvoy points or 400 DC points.

Newport Coast in May was 35K Bonvoy Points, $250 Amex card or 600 DC points.

Hilton Head in September was $375 Experience dollars and I don't remember the alternate options.

Myrtle Beach the following week was $175 Experience certificate and I don't remember the alternate options.

Both the Hilton Head and Myrtle Beach offers were on the phone and I don't have emails that I can refer to for alternate options.

I forget what my contract says for the encore package I bought at Lagunamar but at some point I get 100,000 bonvoy points for that which allegedly has a value of $1,200, the same amount I paid for the encore package. I have no idea if that value is correct but it sounded like a decent deal to me.

$1,200 was a reasonable estimate of the value before the recent devaluation of the air/flight package...now $800 is more accurate. But still a decent chunk of change.
