A few days ago I received an offer from Ritz Carlton by mail. The offer is stay between July 15 and October 15, 2012 for 4 nights and receive 30,000 points to use on a future stay. Must register, and the T&C state reward nights do not qualify, Ritz-Carlton Millennia, Singapore, Ritz-Carlton Montreal, Phulay Bay, Ritz Carlton Reserve, Destination Clubs, Residences an Partner hotels do not qualify. Members of Ritz-Carlton Rewards program as of June 14, 2012, and new members who were not previously members of Marriott Rewards program are eligible to receive this offer. A max of 30k bonus points can be earned per member. Offer is not transferable, subject to availability........

I am tempted to take this offer..just need to find a Ritz-Carlton with decent rates. Add a Chase Ritz card as well for 70k and I may be able to justify adding this to my portfolio.
