I am a Marriott Rewards member...but have no points (since I am not a frequent hotel-stayer). I have checked numerous places on FlyerTalk for ideas on getting deals at Marriotts. I tried the codes listed on a different thread. I don't seem to qualify for any.

Will stay in NYC several nights in August. In my case are the best deals I can hope to get the ones that are on Marriott's webpage? That seems to be the case. I have gotten an overload of information checking online and on FlyerTalk in recent days and have ended up overwhelmed. Any advice you could offer would be appreciated.
