Marriott 48 Hour Guarantee
For any Titanium/Ambassador Elites booking 48 hours before arrival, have you found the room rates to be exorbitantly high? I know it depends on the Property, but for more budget friendly hotels, I'm wondering if these 48 Hour rates are much higher than normal rates.
I'm trying to book a hotel in the LA area for President's day weekend, and most hotels are sold out and the few available are too expensive. I'm just wondering if I should wait 48 Hours before, but I'm also thinking the room rates are going to be astronomically high. Thanks for the feedback.

Why would you wait until 48 hours before arrival? To get the benefit, you need to make the reservation MORE THAN 48 hours in advance.

Oh I guess I misunderstood this benefit. But if the Hotel is unavailable online, do I call an Agent to use this 48 Hour Guarantee benefit?

If the hotel has not excluded itself from the 48 hour res guarantee, the rack rate should appear on the bonvOY website as long as you are signed in to your Tit/Amb account.

If you don't see it when logged in, call Marriott. If this doesn't work and travel isn't right away, contact one of the lurkers/champions here.
