If your upcoming reservation includes “DELISH” as special promotion code, you have to surrender your certificate in order to receive $ 150 F&B credit. There are many different ways to earn this certificate eg. at a previous resort stay, bought on ebay or traded in at CC. If you don’t possess such a certificate, you are not entitled to take advantage of this promotion, but you can use special offer code DEL5K ($ 150 F&B credit & one time 5K GP bonus points).
While I certainly appreciate your efforts to address my questions, I can't ignore the need to respond to your post.


First, what you describe as "covered ad nauseam at this BB" is not so in my opinion since the DELISH promo is only briefly discussed in several threads that all quickly develop into discussing the DEL5K promo instead. And what is mentioned about the DELISH promo is mostly accounts of people on both sides of the "desk" confusing the terms and use of the two promos. While the full terms of the DELISH promo are listed in one thread, they are not very clear, and as much as they may be discussed, clear-cut details of the promo are never concluded.

Second, the reason I continue to ask what you view as the same question is not because I don't hear the answer I am hoping for, it is because either the answers don't address the actual question that I asked, or because the answers don't make sense. For example you say above that you need to book a stay with the DELISH promo code in order to cash in a DELISH certificate. You as well as others also say that you receive a certificate during a DELISH stay to be used on a future stay. So how can it be both? As I said, I believe the actual intent of the promo is to receive the certificate during the stay to be used on any future paid stay which clearly doesn't make sense if it is possible to be booked on the last day of the promo (and receive an already expired certificate for "future" use).

So again, thanks for trying to answer my questions about the DELISH promo, but to be honest I am still am not very clear on how it was actually supposed to work, (and it seems like most others were in the same boat)
