Not at all clear. Either that, or maybe I need to improve my English.

What I’m saying is fuzzy is that it’s not clear that the 30 June window refers to just the ‘making’ or the opportunity to cancel.
So is your interpretation that a booking made today for 10 December can be cancelled up to 30 June or 9 December?
Based on my interpretation, it was 9 Dec. The way they state it, I think vast majority of people will interpret it that way.
Based on Hyatt's similarly-stated policy, it's 9 Dec (I confirmed with their rep).
But the Marriott rep insists it's 30 June.
Did you call Marriott and speak to a rep? I wonder if you'll get the same or different answer than what I got.
If Marriott's policy is indeed as the rep told me, then they should've said: "
For guests making new reservations for any future arrival date, including reservations with pre-paid rates, between today and June 30, 2020, we will allow the reservation to be changed or cancelled at no charge through June 30, 2020, as long as it is at least 24 hours before your scheduled arrival date."
