Is this cutoff determined by Marriott? The actual property?

As a rule, does anyone know the typical period of time before a specific date that this option disappears?
Just trying to save some money while minimizing the risk of cancelation and losing the money.

thx
I have no idea since I never book prepaid rates, but why don't you research it for the hotel you want to stay at. For example, check for a week from today. If prepaid rates not available, check for 2 weeks from now, and so on. There's never a guarantee but it might give you an idea. Good luck.
