Idhunter, we just told our rep (we're using Kathryn Beich) that we would prefer not to use their prize package this year. I'm sure he wasn't 100% thrilled, but he'll still get a percentage of our sales, which beats getting nothing if we decided to go elsewhere. Actually, I've found this guy to be pretty easy to deal with. All reps are like used-car salesmen, though. I bet you'll find that if you ask your rep what else they can offer you in the way of prizes they'll have some ideas. They push the "crappy" stuff because they get the biggest mark up from that. If you make sure they know that you understand they need to make money too, they'll be willing to work with you. Give it a try, all they can do is tell you "no, we can't do that" and then you say, "Ok, thanks, I'll try someone who can"
