Hotel: Fairfield Inn & Suites - Marriott Village, Orlando, FL USA
Duration: 2 nights in April '18
Marriott rate: $226 plus taxes/fees (Night 1: $94, Night 2: $132)
Lower rate found: $184 ($92/night for both nights)
I actually took the 5,000 points. Yes, I know it's slightly less than what I could have gotten for $, BUT it will be worth far more to me in points in a trip later this year.

COMPARISON RATE INFORMATION
Lower rate found: €111/night refundable incl. tax, excl. city tax

We modified your reservation to reflect the following rate:

Not sure, how this was calculated. I assume the competing rate the team found must have been €113 otherwise it does not add up.

Does LNF allow submission without a reservation when subject property is sold out on Marriott channels? 
Starwood BRG allows it as an exception since it is not possible to make reservation before BRG submission.
