A question re: going for LNF rates
Guys
I've just discovered this opportunity and as a regular traveller, it is very appealing.
So my questions to do with LNF:
- will one become unpopular/targeted/banned by Marriott if one was to exploit this regulalrly, say a couple of times close together (as I could do)?
- if so, are there are "rules" that I need to be aware of?
GlennTheBaker - please don't get fed up with me - I truly do not intend to pester you for competitor rates - it will all go quiet soon!
...just an excited newbie!

Have had enormous success with LNF rates. They are out there with some effort on your part. There does not seem to be any negative repercussions of using them at the hotels either, or with Marriott. I stay around 10-12 nights per year with LNF rates.

Thanks ffj - got a result on Saturday - my first venture into the world of LNF rates and have a second lined up possibly.....
Certainly I have had fun and games with other corporates before - well just Tesco to be honest, but my avid approach to collecting points meant that I was spotted and dealt with - but very reasonably!
So, keen to know the tricks and protocols associated with LNF.
Cheers
