Socrates,

This is the information I have gotten, but I'm double checking on it now. I'll let you know what I find out.

Kind regards,

Yes, but when you go to register the card, the site just says

Billy, what is the benefits of using the gift cards so much, outside the not too often promos for 10% off or such. Am I missing out on something?

Thanks - Joshua

I agree the 10% is great and enough - but how do you get so many? Maybe I just miss it but the Delta promo only comes around so often and I haven't seen Vacation America again. I'll gladly stockpile given my travel patterns... Thanks

Hello all,

Please dismiss my original post on this. It looks like Socrates is correct. The new standard is that giftcards will be accepted at all Marriott participating brands. I am looking into when the terms of use will include this information.

Kind regards,

Marie

I agree that the RC / MR GC distinction should be eliminated.

I understand that there are system constraints but they certainly could be overcome. At the end of the day, a GC is just a stored cash value.

Hello

As a UK resident Marriott Vacation Club owner and Marriott Rewards Platinum Elite member, I would really like to use the Marriott Gift cards that I keep reading about here.
https://gifts.marriott.com/
It seems though that may not be available to non US residents.
Is this correct? and if so, when will you be introducing these to non US residents please?
(The only offer I can find for UK residents is for Marriott cheques, which do not offer the same level of flexibility.

I look forward to your positive response.
