Still looking. Perhaps I will have to pay full price. Wish I they had a BOGO!

It's precisely because of the prices in cities like Chicago, New York, etc, that I collect as many points (and occasionally free night certificates) as I can in as many hotel programs as I can (not just one or two!). If it's a personal stay in one of those cities (and if it isn't, wouldn't work be paying and thus exact price not matter?), I tend to do point (or cert) stays, rather than gulping and swalling a high cash price. I do my paid stays (on which I earn the points and certs) only in those locations where I can find (through whatever means) qualifying hotels at prices I like.

(But sometimes even on points not all programs have a good redemption rate in a given location. So one of the reasons I collect in lots of programs is because for one city, program A may have much lower point requirement, while in another city, program B may have much lower point requirements, even though both program A and program B have properties in both cities.)

I am looking for Munich Marriott Hotel (7/31-8/5). $149 for 3 nights and $109 for last 2 nights at Marriott.com. It is the lowest I've found as the travelocities, kayaks... go for $188 or thereabouts.

Hi. I'm looking for a better rate for the Marriott Newport RI, Sept 5-6, rate at marriott.com is $279. Thanks.

Can't find any other sites lower than the one at Marriott for the LNF rate. The rates you are asking for though is possible. Do you have a AAA card? If not, I highly recommend getting it as the discounts itself make up for the $58 ($48 after that for renewal) fee. You can sign up now and get a temporary card to use. With the AAA discount, these are the rates you will get:

JW Marriott: $179.10 per nights for 3 nights
SHS - $153 first night, $180 each night for last two nights
RI - $161.99, $179.99 each night for last two nights

In your case, the JW will probably serve you better since the rate is the same for all 3 nights and is $10 lower than the stated $189 rate.


Keep in mind that the official Marriott website shows the price in the hotel's own currency. That's $149 Euros and $188 USD. I just took a quick look using the Marriott Currency Converter and you should be able to go for Marriott's Best Rate Guarantee by filling out their form. I don't think we are allowed to post the website in the public so I will be sending you a PM with the info shortly.

Thanks so much!!

It worked. Thank you! I will post the info (sans the website) in the other thread.

Is this for the Residence Inn at Newport, Rhode Island or do you actually mean the full service Marriott at Newport, Rhode Island? The RI is throwing me off If Residence Inn, I can't find any rate lower than the one posted at the Marriott website which is now $249 instead of $279.

Hoping to find some help with LNF on Annapolis, MD Marriott

hi


8-9 August

Jw marriott la live Los Angeles

Cant seem to find a rate at around $150 which is what I would've liked

Could anyone help please

Thanks!

Besides hotelscombined.com and kayak.com, are here any other multi-site search engines that people use to find LNF submission rates?

Have you not read post #1 in this thread??? It says:

We cannot compile a public list because of the above. Posting a (less-obvious) site here may just lead to fewer LNFs being possible in the future!!!

And, at any rate, different third-party sites work for different places and/or different hotels (even in the same area). What you should do is monitor the other thread of successful LNFs:

http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/marri...successes.html

and when you see that someone did a successful LNF at a property that you're interested in (or at least in a city that you're interested in), and you find you can't duplicate that with the third-party sites you already know about, then PM the person who posted the successful LNF and ask if they don't mind telling you which site they used.

Too many people LNFing the same hotel (which could happen if the site for every hotel was posted publicly) would just lead to the hotel shutting down the LNF opportunities faster.

I've already seen one hotel, at which I did multiple LNFs over a short period of time, withdraw itself completely from the third-party site I'd used! This would happen even more often if these sites were published for all to see on FT. (In part, because lots of things that are published on FT then go on to even more widely-read sites, such as travel blogs or even major newspapers and magazines!)
