I don't understand why all of you are waxing poetic about RVJ?

Sure, if you want breakfast and perhaps an upgrade, it is fine, but especially for Gold or Plat members who may get this -- depending on the hotel -- why is not the competing R6M code viewed in a lesser light?

I just checked DC properties around Labor Day, and both codes yield the same price.

I don't know about you, but I would rather have the saavy savings bonus bucks -- espescially if staying at the Downtown DC Renn whose lounge is open on weekends, than to get a free breakfast (which the lounge would supply, anyway) and an upgrade, but no $100 bonus bucks savings certificate!

If you are not sure if you will get a free breakfast on the weekends, contact the hotel and get the name of the person if they tell you that you would get it if you are a Gold or Plat member -- it is that easy.

I have tried every public code looking for a downtown or NW DC hotel for Sep 21 to 24. Almost every code gives no availability, a couple give hotels 25 or more miles from DC. Anyone got one that works?

The R6M code gives a very good rate at the Renaissance Depot in Minneapolis ($139 vs regular rate of $249). Rate rules are as follows:



I did not receive a mailer for this promotion. Is there any reason why I can't use it?

Sorry did not see your post before. Yes you should be able to do so.


Go to the Marriott website, choose the tab for deals at the top of the page and then input the city you wish. The offer should be one of those listed for the city since you were able to pull it up by inputting the code.

As I recall, many hotels in many cities were covered by the Saavy Savings offer promotion.

If you tried every one & it's not bringing up something, then odds are you're out of luck. You might want to try & break up the ressie into individual dates & see if that works. I just did that for a friend of mine last week. Turned out 1 of the days didn't have it available (no idea why), but the others did, so he made separate reservations & got discounted rate on all but 1 of his nights. Good luck. Cheers.

I tried LPR at a Marriott internationally. It is giving me an excellant rate. But heres the message:

VIP Meeting Point - Weekend rate for VIPMP members * Room Only *Deluxe room (King or 2 Twin Beds) * ONLY BOOKABLE ON PROPRERTY

Even though it says "only bookable on property", it allows you to reserve the room at that rate online.

Any thoughts on this one?

I got a great discount using the government rate in York GB in October. Reading the Marriott Ts and Cs it appears that this rate (if offered) should work for a US government employee in any country. Anyone have experience?
