This was also noted yesterday the website bug thread, so with you report too, this seems to be a repeatable system error.

The issue is still there. SET Rates are still available and bookable, but not displaying as available in the SET rate column on the Compare Rates page.

FWIW, when you do a compare search and plug a SET code into one of the columns, clicking on the Lowest Rate amount for a property will take you to the property rates page where the SET rate will actually display. As Oxon Flyer says, it is only on the compare page that the rate does not appear.

I'm poking around the ABA website, and the SET code seems gone. Is post-merger Starwood no longer offering one to the ABA?

SET code competitiveness
Anyone else worried about downgrades of their code(s) post-merger?
The one I have for Marriott (from a F25 company) is pathetic...rarely available, often more $$$ than AAA. SPG ones are fantastic...almost always available, quite good.
I'm not optimistic...

Agreed. I'm entitled to use the SET code (and Marriott equivalent) for a tier-1 investment bank. It was pretty good in 2016. The Starwood 2017 rates seem ok. However, the Marriott 2017 rates are awful. I'm not sure if it's the internal travel team still deciding on outcome of RFPs or if it's just rubbish rates. But I've not been able to stay at some of my preferred Ritz Carlton hotels in recent times because of it. Very disappointing.

I have mixed feelings about steering money to the ABA, but I'll point out that you can purchase an associate membership for about $120 (even without a law degree). There are some hotels where you can recoup that in a 1-2 night stay.
