Hmmm...but could you go and stay at the hotel and do whatever you swant and skip the sales pitch and forgo the $50 Mastercard? Or do you HAVE to sit through the sales pitch?
Not 100% sure, but I think you lose the discount hotel rate if you don't attend the seminar.

Someone feel free to correct me if I'm wrong. I'm used to being wrong anyway...

Yeah, they schedule you a day and time to attend the thing. Actually, it wasn't that bad. It's just Branson in general. All the bumper to bumper traffic and the fact that everything is so damned expensive. We just left Lambert's Cafe. It was definitely the highlight of the trip so far.

Actually depends on the time of year. I went out around mid May for a couple days and it wasn't bad at all. When school is still in session there are a lot less tourists rolling through. Was out there around Thanksgiving and it wasn't awful then either but that is more of a stay at home holiday. A few more people but only in a few area's.

I avoided the downtown and riverfront area's though. That could be the issue.

We did that sales pitch trip earlier this year...... and bought a time share :blush:

In all actuality its not too bad a deal. We bought a 15,000 pt bi-annual package (just under $20k on a 5 year mortgage). The thing we like is we can trade in points for good discount on cruises (something the wife and I do every other year). Plus, we have friends in Vegas so being able to use our points at the Bluegreen resort there is a plus. And the Big Bear resort is pretty nice.

But yes, Branson in and of itself is like Wal-mart, on a payday. Wife likes the 5 and dime store though. Hope your stay at the Radisson was better than ours. The hallway smelled of bad BO the entire weekend, our toilet ran constantly and beds had a blackhole in the middle of both that led to horrible sleeping.
