Since they are basically offering you a different type of point currency, which can be converted to either RCI points or IHG Rewards points, at about 15 to 24 cents per, they mention RCI right away after the initial info about travel pattern-annual spend mainly. Just tell them you would never deal with RCI and you can get all the IHG Rewards points you want for .7 cents per anytime. They will show you the video-about 10 minutes-and then bring in the first manager. Repeat your message about RCI/IHG points. They bring in the hard closer "manager" and you repeat the RCI message. They are fairly busy, even at the Myrtle Beach HIVC, considering the time of year/season. They will escort you to the final deal table for the 8 day/7 night offer, where you just say "no" and you're off to the cashier.
