I'm not sure I understand the scenarios as described.
(1) You ask them to choose $300 in a week or $900 in a year. (2) You give them $50, then ask them to choose $300 in a week or $900 in a year. (3) You ask them to choose $50 now and $300 in a week, or $50 now and $900 in a year.
So basically, giving them something now has no effect, but offering them the choice of something now does?
