I've searched every time I book, and have yet to find an outside rate that comes close to the CTS RC rate.
The MO free night offer on the hotel web site is not the same. The CTS one is BOGO, confirmed upgrade at booking, plus hotel ammenities. With two Centurion holders, you can do back to back bookings, which essentially comes to 60%+ off at MOs. I didn't stay at MOs before holding a Centurion, so I don't consider that to be that huge of a benefit. It's just a cherry on top.
