Unfortunately, that may be exaclty what caused your search a while later for LNF to fail. My experience is that once someone succeeds at an LNF, it's likely (though not certain) that the hotel will act to remove that rate (from the hird-party site) for a while, at least until "memory fades".
Meanwhile, I see that you're PC Plat. You do realize that there are several NYC hotels which are available starting for as little as 15k PC points a night? (As a PC Plat with lots of points myself, NYC is one place I never both paying money to stay at.)
Yeah, I know - I was the one that got that rate
. And last time I checked, it's still available for the dates I originally booked. However, I wasn't getting anything less for next weekend... until I started playing around with the dates, and realized that the Friday was my problem - putting in just Saturday popped up a better rate (albeit not quite the deal I have for January). So, am using one of my Cat. 1-4 certs for a SHS north of the city (we're driving down from Canada), and doing just the one night at the Algonquin.
I did think of using some of my stash of PC points, but MamaTwick, alas, had her heart set on the Algonquin...
