I have done this in the past (with that chain specifically) but it has been years since I was able to find a price lower than what they have on their website.
Also when you book on a third party website, most hotels will not give you your points.
Yes but most third party websites in China will give your a cash rebate (instead of the points). This may also be a reason for the hotel to refuse your rate match request.
