Nothing in Asia of course. All the promotions on the app are tailored to the USA. At least SPG has Asia-specific ones and would filter what you see according to your account’s sign up country. Marriott is US this and US that.

Hi, I get how you got to 20% off the Standard Rate but they aren't the same product. If you look at the earlier screen print above the new saver rate is non refundable. Standard rates are refundable.

Expecting your customers to hunt them out using a single-keyword search function is absurd.

FWIW, most everyone used of the old SPG ‘Hot Escapes’ function by browsing the list/map of properties on sale, not searching for them.
Yeah, I can see having a special link with a list of locations. That would be easy enough to do...with a click through on a single hotel to take you to the booking page. It would seem harder to have an actual search function that just pulls sale rates on different destinations with booking availability. The website today is set up to search and display hotels by location, not by any other factor.

I noticed that when you start typing a location, a black box pops up with several choices that aren't necessarily related to what you've typed so far. Maybe a way to search locations would be to enter some random three letter combinations and see what choices you're offered, then click on any that look interesting to you. Stop when you find something acceptable. Totally inefficient and even irrational, but this seems to be how Starriott expects us to explore the possibilities.

Have to agree. Searching for properties is too labor intensive to make it worth while. Disappointing given the offer's only just started......

That's just how Marriott codes work. The discount is applied off the regular rate and new details are added, in this case, a non refundable clause.

The bonvoy escapes page is up - but unlike last time, I failed to find anything outside the US.

Aynbody with more success? And indeed, a list would be nice to have.

Okay, to answer my own question. I found now availability in Munich and Duesseldorf

Courtyard Downtown Lansing is offering an Escapes Rate 2 weeks from now. This is the first time I’ve seen one.

Nothing screams “Vacation Destination!” Like Lansing, MI at the end of March.

It is a shiny new CY after all that is gentrifying DT LAN, not the tired old CY near Eastwood. Walk to the famous Art's Bar on Kalamazoo St. where legislators used to cut deals.

You're right, it's Lansing. 🥱
