Marriott does match Orbitz. Despite what the customer service ppl say on the phone or email. Just wanted to make sure of it. Hotel listed for 129$ and Orbitz had a special price of $114 so got it with the 25% discount for $86. 100-25 =$86 including the taxes.

Phone operators were all telling me that they would only match another Marriott sites and email they were non commital sending me the link to the page i allready sent. Great customer service !!!

Reminder for all check the various websites expedia,Orbitz etc before you book hotel on the main sites and NOT after to get any Possiable deals for these offers as most often cancellation fees apply making any savings meaningless.

Awesome post. No luck with Holiday Inn. But will look for best rate for this coming weekend. Wish me luck.

If someone has a way to do this can they show me how, I'd like to do a night at any hotel near anaheim for Jauary 25th one night for school

Thanks

From Hilton's Best Rate Guarantee

"Offer does not apply to the following hotels: U.S.--Atlantic City Hilton, Las Vegas Hilton, and Hilton Reno Resort & Casino; Puerto Rico-Caribe Hilton and the Hilton Ponce & Casino."

(edit: nm, it is listed under Caesars, not Hilton)

So if one were trying to get Best Rate Guarantee for a hotel in Vegas, what would be the best sources, for the cheapest rates, Travelocity, Orbitz, etc? any other ones out there that get low rates? Thanks for all the help.

It worked for me today! I got a hotel deal for $325 CDN for a room in Niagara Falls this summer. Yes, it's a ton of money but an exceptional deal for the area.

Thank you for submitting a claim regarding Our Best Rates Guaranteed. We reviewed your reservation for the Embassy Suites – Niagara Falls location, as well as, the rate available on www.niagarahoteldeals.com. We were able to confirm that a lower rate was being offered on the website and have lowered the rate on your reservation to match the 325.00 CAD rate.

Expedia Orbitz etc are now offering best rate guarantees, and since the hotel direct website is often cheaper, this may be an easy way to exploit them.

For example, expedia is giving a $50 coupon if you find a lower price. Simply Orbitz and the hotels own website, chances are youll find a better price

AnGerrZ said:Yeah, can someone please help me with this as well? I am trying to find a hotel near LAX for one night in early Feb. Do I just go directly to the hotel's site and get a price and then if I find it cheaper on Orbitz, expedia, etc. they will give the discount? Thanks!


I found Residence Inn by Marriott LAX/Manhattan Beach for cheaper on Orbitz for 03/23/06. I booked the room on Marriott's website, and then, I completed the online claim form on Marriott's website and within minutes, I received an email confirming the rate was matched and discounted by 25%. Cool!!!

Edit: Also, I tried the worldres.com match with Bally's Vegas and as reported above, it worked. Thanks!

I'm trying it with Ballys right now for Feb 28 - March 3. Got a rate of $267 + tax when I reserved thru Ballys and found it on www.onetravel.com for $227.55 + tax. Just faxed my claim form. Am hoping they honor it, which would bring the rate down to $170.66 or $56.89/night. That would be a sweet deal. WorldRes.com had a lower price on those days for Paris - with the discount it would have worked out to about $75/night - which is a terrific rate for Paris. But I decided that it wasn't worth $20 more per night than Ballys and went with that one.

make sure you ask them to change it in the reservation system. i had to do that. if i didn't, then the older price would be on the reservation system and i would have to show them the email. regardless you are suppose to show them the email at check in anywyas.
