But as to your second point it is weird because only 3 properties come up when I put in that code, as opposed to 19 when I didn't put in anything.
I did find this other thread on here...is this code related to Hertz?

A couple learnings...
1) any company that uses 3 letters for codes (like Marriott and Hertz use) are going to end up with duplicate codes- because the variety with only 3 letters is NOT infinite. So, yes it is a Hertz but is also a Marriott code. (very nice search skills by the way, mine are abysmal)
2) what IS odd is that they both identify the same promotion...but perhaps it is a shared promo - I didn't dig that deep.
3) it is NOT odd that the code only pulled up 3 hotels...that is often what happens. The number varies of course, but not every hotel offers all codes, which is why we have the list.
So it is a PITA, but the best thing to do is to check all codes one by one for an area - especially if rates are high. Only you can decide if the time and effort is worth it.
