With NJ, NY, and Conn on the FL 14 day quarantine list, why would anyone want to spend 14 day in a hotel then go to WDW?

True, but even flights from Los Angeles to Orlando are $31 and Los Angeles is not on the quarantine list. Disneyworld can't expect people to pay thousands of dollars to visit when they have many attractions closed and no fireworks or parades.
 
Does anyone know if Marriott gift cards be used to purchase their points? I know that Marriott has been offering some awesome deals on purchasing Bonvoy points and, if I could stack the discounts, that would be awesome.
The Marriott points purchase is processed by Points .com and Marriott gift cards are not an accepted method of payment. You'll need a credit/debit card to make the purchase.

I didn't know the answer to this but I did ask GC Galore and @platamama is correct! If you use the link, you'll find the same response.

Thanks @platamama and Stephen at GC Galore! :thumbsup2

On the other hand, there's basically no wait for anything. My understanding is 20 min max for rides. Sounds like kinda a fair trade if you like rides.

Very true, cheap fares but the destination still isn't worth the time or price. All dressed up and nowhere to go.

Thanks for checking on this! I thought that it was probably too good to true, but I was hoping.

I still might take advantage of one or both of these deals. I'd like to do a trip to Disneyland sometime next year (assuming it becomes safe to travel again) and there appear to be several Marriott properties nearby. I already have a bunch of Marriott rewards points so I'm hoping to combine cash and points to make the trip a bit more affordable.

I was contacted and asked why I use Links vs Direct Links, to be fair I use both on some offers. The reason I use just links to a specific site like GC Galore, Doctor of Credit, Hip2Save etc. is due to the lengthy terms of an offer and/or tips provided. Again, not everyone here has access to a store and/or credit card offer, by going to the source you'll need to weigh whether the offer is beneficial on a personal level. :flower3:

Oh, and sometimes I have issues with their "direct links". :thumbsup2
