Marriott Rewards announced in July (read more here) that they would launch FlashPerks on July 17, 2014, for 12 week period. Their goal is to have 10 – 15 deals every week for 24 hours or before they sell out.
Seems that the discounted hotel awards did sell out very fast this time. I was again in the air while these went live three ours ago.
You can access Marriott’s web page for this offer here.

Conclusion
The hotel awards at 50% off are good (gone by now) deals but the use windows are rather short. Getting 30% off from a best available rates is usually just a so so deal. It never ceases to amaze me that these merchandize awards are the first one to sell out, although I don’t consider them great by any means. The Uber $20 credit is a joke as there are public offers for $30 credit.
