Thanks so much for this!
Today I called every single Marriott property (across all brands) in SF, San Bruno, Oakland, and Berkeley. I also called the Marriott flag properties in San Mateo and Walnut Creek. None of the them sell gift cards. The Westin near SFO was the only one who said they "should be getting gift cards next month." Unfortunately, that's too late for me.
The Santa Clara Marriott confirmed that they still sell gift cards. Why they're the only ones, I have absolutely no idea. I was really hoping to find a hotel that sold one closer to home...
