Typically it is equal to the best available rate, but then includes breakfast, a 100 USD hotel CREDIT, upgrade, and 2pm late checkout (plat and above gets 4pm anyway)

There are campaigns where there are additional benefits from time to time.

Interesting. As Titanium I get all that except the $100 credit. Do stays booked via STARS earn points & nights towards status (for the 50 & 75 level)?

if so - it offers everything I get - and in addition gives a $100 credit. Seems too good to be true.

As a Titanium you don't get breakfast at Edition, that's kind of the whole point.

Right there is a stay 3 nights pay for 2 nights campaign running for Edition. Where as the Marriott website offers 20% on rooms and 35% off on suites.

Stars rates count for points and qualifying nights.

oh, I see. So one gets breakfast and a $100 credit. And everything else one would normally get a Titanium. So during this promo it would make absolutely no sense to book direct instead of booking EDITION via this Stars program it seems. Is the stars program free to use?

You need to find a TA that can book it. We use a credit card concierge, so there is no fee associated with the booking, but a TA fee can need to go into the calculation as well. It is not always a good deal, as it comes from the price of BAR, and there may be prepaid offers that on the sum of things are a better deal.

Many advisors active on FT who are part of this Marriott program don't charge fees for hotel bookings.... you can look at the sticky thread in the FlyerTalk Luxury Hotels Forum here for more ideas

Whenever you can get a STARS, FHR or Virtuoso rate it will almost always be better than booking direct - unless you dont intend to use any F&B and just want the absolute cheapest rate. The benefits of these rates are also generally more adhered to by Marriott hotels than the Marriott Bonvoy programme which is basically a coin toss nowadays.

Will I get points an nights credited, if I book FHR through Amex?

There is a long thread HERE about Bonvoy and FHR.... with the most recent posts indicating that you might have to follow up
Marriott's own STARS program will always credit to Bonvoy

Weird, I strongly disagree. I've stayed at luxury properties around the world (Aman, Four Seasons, Luxury Collection, STR, Ritz... you name it) and while elite recognition is hit or miss the Miami Beach Edition is one of my all time favorites.
