Dave, you should ask your top performers. The worst they can do is say no, so you won’t be out anything. And I don’t think you should get hung up on how much you send someplace either. I had a program offer me a room last year that hadn’t made $100 (or at least according to my stats 
from me. It was a last minute deal, but it was appreciated all the same.
One difference this year is that in the past the sponsor programs received so many rooms in their package, and this year I don’t think they do.
