How would you interpret these rate rules from the Marriott.com website? The rate is for a Courtyard in Orlando where the regular rate is $99 and this rate is 10% less, or $89.

The only way to satisfy all of these rules is with a 5-night stay (not a 4-night and not a 6-night...just a 5-night). I was just wondering if one rule took precedent over another when they appear to conflict.

I will resist going on a rant about how Marriott seems to be rolling out more and more 21-day prepaid rates, a la the airlines. This rate is about the only one I can get without the prepaid clause. (If I have to prepay, I'm going to Priceline 100% of the time, to heck with the MR points.)
