anyone have any idea whether or not best price gauruntee through direct booking applies to coporate rates?

Best Western also has a price guarantee: here within 48 hours of booking.

I tried to use the Marriott's Best Rate Guarantee and was told "
According to the Terms and Conditions of Marriott's Look No Further(SM)
Best Rate Guarantee, when multiple rates for the same hotel,
reservation dates, and room type are displayed on a Marriott web site, you must
reserve the lowest rate to be eligible for the guarantee...For this reason, we must deny your claim under the terms of Marriott's Look No Further(SM) Best Rate Guarantee program."


I have a reservation for a king bed with breakfast but apparently, it was not the lowest rack room rate.

Any thoughts?

You used rack rate incorrectly in this post.

I had this come up with Expedia last Spring. I e-mailed them w/i 24 hours of finding a better rate, but they did not respond until 72 hours later and denied my request to meet the price.

So I had to call and argue with them that telling me I did not qualify b/c they were slow in processing my e-mail made no sence.

Ultimately, they gave me a $50 coupon after offering to cancel the reservation w/o penalty. They did not reduce my rate, however.

So my advise is to call as soon as you find a better rate rather than e-mail.

thank you, it worked for me, i just booked at Aladdin Las Vegas for 149 / night, then filed a claim to compare to another site and they approved it and lower the price to 75 / night. this is amazing.

i pricematched aladdin through www.otshotels.com and yes they only give 10% less instead of 25% like other hotels . Still a good deal for me

Got a cracking deal here

Hotel: Flamingo LV
Duration: 5 nights
When: 22nd Aug - 27th Aug
Rate:$69

How-->Booked with hotel website at a rate of $530 in total. found within 24hrs (well i already found it before i booked with the Flam Hee Hee!!) on www.vegashotels.travel a rate of $463 used best Rate Gaurantee,they matched it + 25% to $347.
just download form fill it in and fax it to them along with proof snapshots. i had a reply within about 7hrs(im in england & it was sunday in the middle of the night there so mabe be quicker for you)it took 2 trys thou, make sure u send pretax rates per night. (thats all i failed on the first time). i tried checkin the rates on the website for a couple other ceasars hotels and it seems that their friday rate is greatly discounted along with a minor reductions on all other days i asume as i havent checked the other hotel website rates must be some deal they have with ceasars. and i havent tried diferent dates so good luck with it. MAKE SURE YOU CLICK THE 'BOOK NOW' BUTTON AS THE RATES ON THE POPUP ARE CHEAPER/DIFFERNT TO THE SEARCH LIST.

EDIT: Just tried ceasars palace for the same dates against the prices on Vegashotels.travel
heres the results

Their based on Deluxe Tower although they have palace tower as well
ceasars website:08/22-$270.00,08/23-$250.00,08/24-$250.00,08/25-$310.00, 08/26-$310.00
vegashotels rate:08/22-$151.00,08/23-$151.00,08/24-$151.00,08/25-$151.00, 08/26-$273.00

Total Ceasars $1390
total VHotels $877 * 25% total you would end up with $655 thats over half. wow!!!!

EDIT just checked the other sites of ceasars for same dates and it seems that FRIDAYS match the weekday rate across the board.

Just thought id share this as to pass on the benefit cause if it wasnt for this thread i wouldnt of thought of doing a little but of research work. so thankyou. it definetly pays to dig deep and hang fire and check as many websites as possible i know alot of the websites are the same company under different names i kinda just stumbled over this one after hours of frustrating same or more rate finds. ok im going now to practice the $20 trick on my 7mth old daughter. tarah a bit.

i asume your on about the what i wrote above it took about 7hrs to get a reply which came in through email the first email said no because i hadnt submitted daily pretax rates, i submitted them all again and on second one they sent and email stateing my new rate and that i should bring the email with me to check in at the famingo to make sure i got the new rate.

I got one free nightf from Wyndham just last friday,,, after matching with expedia.ca
