Need Marriott Cheques
Today, all the bulk purchasing discounts are gone. Dealpool is shut down (permanently?). Volumebuy had a crummy deal recently, but not any more. C-tribe had a pretty good deal, but no Marriott now. Other sources have small-scale, single-certificate deals, but nothing in bulk.
I'm about to run out and want more. Any information out there?

I've been buying mine in advance using the one month pool through VolumeBuy at 15% off. Just buy more than you need - it's not like you'll never use them.
Using $600-1200 a week for my travels, I am not going to complain for "only" 15%.

Yeah, you're right about 15%. Until late yesterday, I believe -- and may be wrong -- that Volumebuy had no Marriott Cheques for sale. Maybe I was just looking in the wrong place (travel). I found them under volume$$$. Still, I'd love to see 25% discounts again. I spend about $1000/month at Marriotts and obviously should have bought MUCH more at lower prices when I had the chance.

The VolumeBuy site, right at this minute (Friday morning) has a link right on the front page to go to Marriott rewards. They have the $50s for 15% off.

You should checked out ValueConsmer.com since it listed the VolumeBuy deal for over a week now. 
Beside VolumeBuy or C-Tribe.com deals, the next best would via www.800giftcertificate.com with 10% off coupon code FS3728R. The code was intended for First USA credit card holders which include UA and Marriott cards. You could give it try it might work with non First USA credit cards. I have seen many credit card company specific offers but other cards worked well too.

Anyone know if there are better than 15% discount deals out there for Marriott checks?
I should have bought a boatload when it was 25% off.

I never stop looking, but the best around is volumebuy at 15% off -- and only on the $50 certificate. I just bought ten more, still hoping for a better offer to come along.
