764-613=151 USD
151 USD is this fair Marriott ?
I work for the Government out of USA , in my country the Government rate is higher than Member rate !! why Marriott ?
To Marriott, Member rate must be the lowest ..
how can they fix this big rate problem !!
Member rates offer a slight discount off of rack for those who have no affiliation or discount to apply. Everything else is based on contracts negotiated with Marriott based on volume, etc.
Heck, even the AAA (US auto club) and senior rates are generally better than the Member rates.
There's no problem to fix.
