If the competitor prices each night individually it will work like this:
Night 1: 125 USD
Night 2: 125 USD
Night 3: 200 USD
Total: 450 USD

Marriott pricing:
Night 1: 200 USD
Night 2: 200 USD
Night 3: 150 USD
Total: 550 USD

You will get the claim approved for nights 1 & 2.
For night 3 the rate is higher and will therefore not be approved.
If you were to choose the 25% discount you will end up with a total like this:
187.50 USD (2 x 125 USD – 25%)
+ 150 USD
Total: 337.50 USD

If the nightly rate is not displayed individually and only shown as a total it will work like this:
Competitor pricing:
Total: 450 USD / 3 nights
Avg. rate per night: 150 USD

Marriott pricing:
Night 1: 200 USD
Night 2: 200 USD
Night 3: 150 USD
Total: 550 USD

You will get the claim approved for nights 1 & 2.
For night 3 the rate is the same and will therefore not be approved.
If you were to choose the 25% discount you will end up with a total like this:
225 USD (2 x 150 USD – 25%)
+ 150 USD
Total: 375 USD
