This feels an awful lot like the similar $100 credit on the AMEX Hilton Aspire card. You have to book via a special rate that is typically more expensive, thereby negating the $100 benefit.
Yeah, if the “special rate” is more expensive than the regular Marriott member rate, it will be a joke. I often use AAA rates if my corporate rate isn’t available, and if those won’t qualify then it may be time to cancel this card.
