How does it work?
If I go to marriott.com, and see that the rate per night is higher than that on say, a priceline.com, or similar website, can I call Marriott and get them to reduce the rate?
I called reservations and was told that rate matching is only for Marriott to Marriott rates...i.e., if the Marriott.com website is higher then what I would receive if I called the hotel.
Does Marriott "match" prices? Please advise. Thanks!
I am looking for:
11/11/2011 to 11/13/2011 at Marriott Napa Valley Hotel
Current rate: $349, looking for better
If successful, not only does Marriott match the lower rate, they then discount it by 25%.
As
sdsearchexplained, please read both the T&Cs & FAQs to improve your chances of success. Plus, there are slight variations on what's accepted as a LNF depending if the hotel is a US property or not.
Also, fwiw in addition to finding a lower price online at another website, you also can submit a claim on "Marriott to Marriott" rates.
For example, if you call a Marriott hotel & book a hotel over the phone (either using the 800 reservation number or calling the hotel directly) and w/i 24 hrs find a lower rate for that same room type & dates on Marriott.com, you can submit an online claim for that as well.
Finally, respecting your request....you have a pm!
Good luck ^
