Id argue, that the guarantee was for that exact reservation and the terms reserved, any changes unless agreed upon (ie. rack) were not ever agreed upon hence the guarantee by CC is not authorized

Maybe taking a photo with a time stamp in the hotel could prove that you arrived on-time and that you were not a "no-show."

most lobbies have a big clock, I would get that in the pic too, just as extra support...
seriously? All of this for a rate which someone isn't entitled to in the first place?
Amazing.
And yet we have the nerve to blast hotel chains for not giving us notice on cat changes, reducing promo's, and devaluating points...

That's not possible for all reservations unless you have the flexibilty to arrive a day earlier. My corp code, for example, requires 24 hrs advance notice for cancellation (e.g., "cancel by 4pm, 24 hours in advance.")

Urban myth? You must be joking. You can't really believe that. 
Example?
Me - Sheraton Great Wall Beijing - IBM Rate - Rack
I've had other times when my rate was changed to rack before I had someone from IBM come to the hotel with me and argue with them. Where? Montreal, Hong Kong X 2.

You show me the bill AND the credit card reciept that you paid Rack rate in Hong Kong, and I'll buy you dinner (using my 50% discount), and publically appologize. I know you well enough to know that you're not paying rack rate without a fight.
I'll believe it when I see it. Until then, I still (friendily) claim URBAN MYTH!

You're telling me that you paid RACK RATE 4 times, including in Hong Kong twice?

No. I and another colleague paid it once, in Beijing. In HKG and Montreal the rate was changes to RACK until some IBMers came and argued with them to put me on the IBM rate. In Montreal it was just an explanation, no argument needed. Canadians being nicer and more reasonable than HKG hoteliers.
And, if you remember, may I ask how much over Best Available rate were you charged in Beijing?

That is correct. But note that the few times I've run into problems using a rate of a business partner I was also able to justify the use by bringing a rep of the business partner to the hotel. In Tokyo I've also had a situation where the business partner was contacted before i checked in to verify that I was entitled to the rate.
