Re: Buying Marriott Destinations points

My wife and I sat through one at Ko Olina a couple years ago that lasted a few minutes less than 90 minutes. I'll never forget it because the sales guy tried using the "silent close" technique on me. At one point he just stopped talking and put the pen down in front of me. It took me a couple seconds to realize what was happening but then I just starred at him. We sat starring at each other for almost 5 minutes without talking, eyes-locked. My wife kept looking back and forth at each of us not saying anything either. The sales guy finally spoke by asked me if I owned my own business, to which I replied that I did. "I thought so" is all he said as he got up and left the room.
