Surely calling this a "nonrefundable rate" would be a bit less misleading than calling it a "flexible" rate?
You are booking inside of the cancellation window. If you were booking outside of it, it would be refundable. It isn't a nonrefundable rate as filed, it's only nonrefundable due to your close-in booking circumstances.

Perhaps Marriott should not even present these rates if the cancellation deadline has already passed.
