I was thinking the same thing. I've always seen reference to the 24 hour cancelation policy when making a non-refundable Bonvoy reservation.
IMHO, the terminology is flawed. If
flexible refers to the rate, does that not indicate it may change by the time you consume your stay? I've not experienced such a concept.As well, it makes little sense to refer to when payment is settled, as the choices have always been either payment upon booking, or upon checkout. A logical interpretation would be a reference to the cancelation deadline. I would most likely have made the same "
error" as supatight80, and we are both pretty seasoned travelers. Glad the lurkers were able to help you out.
