Try the regular reservations line......they say there isn't a reason so call the hotel......

I realize we have used this feature with success. We have also had times where we ran into a "event" that blocked our ability to use the guarantee, frustrating but nothing we could do. We understand how this deal works but it does not seem to be working now. Clients are already booked for the extended night - they just decided they wanted him to stay over the extra night as well. Any ideas of how to get this taken care of?

Thanks
I would call the Platinum Reservation line and have them do it. If they tell you to talk to the hotel directly, ask them to contact the hotel and make the reservation for you. If that doesn't work ask for a supervisor. No reason for you to contact the property directly, they should be able to handle all your reservation needs.
