Thank you for the info. This is comforting to know.

The stays and nights under those deals always count towards whatever promotion is going on as well.
Next week, I have a stay in the DC area. They offered a bonus point rate of 5000 points for $2 less than the Marriott Member rate on the first tab. I fully expect to get credit for the stay, credit towards the current promo, and my normal MR points for the room on top of the 5000 point bonus. That is the way it has always worked out for me in the past.
Yes, the Marriott Member Rate is listed under the Deal Tab. I did not notice it at all when I picked AAA rate to check price. I wish Marriott site has more rate options and allow multiple options to be checked at same time, like how IHG site works.
Interesting you saw rate earning extra 5K pts was $2 less than the Marriott Member Rate. I was always under the impression the Marriott Member Rate should be the lowest, apparently it is not! The current promo offer I got is a crumby one - earn 750 pts on 3rd stay I believe. It is so bad that I dont even remember the details.
