Don't do TS pitches in Mexico since they are one of the highest pressure ones.

The gifts are getting a lot less and tbh $100 is not worth 90 mins of my time. I have a resale Hyatt Beach House which I bought off ebay about 4 years ago and during my stay at Sunset Harbour as an owner they tried to get me for the pitch but I did not want to spend 90 mins of my 4 days but wanted some updates so agreed to a informal chat without the gift. It took 30 mins and I basically figured out the only thing they could give me that I don't have i.e. transfer to Hyatt GP points is not worth it for the premium they are over the resale market.

You can get some packages to Hawaii i.e. 6 nights, rental car, credits or points, etc. With Starwood, Marriott, Hilton, etc. that is a good price but necessitate you of going to a presentation. I did one at the Westin before it became a St. Regis and it was a good deal.
