My first try (and success!) at LNF!
Hotel Name: Residence Inn New York Manhattan / Midtown East
Check in/out dates: May 22-26 (multiple rooms)
Currency: USD
I'm booked at the AAA rate as follows:
5/22 379.00
5/23 379.00
5/24 379.00
5/25 265.00
Total 1,402.00
After LNF:
5/22 261.98
5/23 261.98
5/24 261.98
5/25 265.98
Total: 1,051.98
All prices per room, pre-tax. This really added up to a nice $ discount due to it being multiple rooms.

The claim staff couldn't find the rate but he found something, so he used that rate to compare (I think the correct rate should be a few dollars less but it's ok) - I explained to him about all in prices are all inclusive by law in Europe (since I heard so much about the LNF staff completely ignore the tax inclusive/exclusive rates).
