So I think for any one particular hotel, if you're only looking for one, chances are more likely than not that no codes will work. The more hotels in an area you're looking at, the more chance that some code will work at maybe at least one of those hotels.


Have you looked into LNF? Have you considered using points? Have you considered other hotels that are a better value (on either money or points), in either the Marriott program and/or other programs (that you have points in or can move points into)? That's my typical solution when faced with a $285++ room at my first choice hotel. (I just don't spend that much time in my hotel room, it's not worth paying that much on my own dime in a city where there are plenty of choices.)

kanerf posted this in the property thread, but thought I'd mention it here:

Renaissance Orlando at Seaworld

15% off rooms
2,000 Bonus points
Free Self Parking

Through 31 March, use promotion code M41.

FPL is not listed as a public rate in the 1st post. There is an older FBL rate that was used in the distant past and it is still listed just to show that it is no longer valid. So my guess is FPL is a private corp rate and will probably require a valid ID. But like anything else, YMMV in trying to use it.

As for the M41 rate not being available for your nights, that is very possible as the hotel probably only allocates a few rooms for that rate. So once those rooms are reserved, so is that rate for those nights.

I'm new to using these codes, do any work with AC Hotels in Spain?

Anyway, I have a question guys. I see that the FPL rate is included in the publicly available list earlier in the thread. Florida Power and Light does mention it for things like when they have conferences and stuff. That doesn't necessarily make it quite a publicly available rate, but it certainly isn't limited to just the employees.

I'm in Florida and I've never used it because normally it saves almost nothing, but I'm now heading to a place where it is half price of the best rate.

I'm wondering if any of you can confirm it is ok for me to use the Florida Power & Light rate, because honestly, if they don't let me use this rate, they simply will not get my business.

We should really start a new thread, removing outdated codes (like NW or codes confirmed dead).

Please note that the Marriott LHR insisted on seeing my AAA card for the AAA rate this weekend. First time that's happened in about 5 years.
