Marriott Look No Further Best Rate Guarantee Update: Now 25% Off OR 5,000 Bonus Points!

Marriott Rewards has “Look No Further” Best Rate Guarantee (BRG) program that has promised to match lower price found on the third party site and further discount it by 25%.

Seems that Marriott has today tweaked the program and adopted much liked feature from SPG as members can now choose between a discount of 25% of the entire stay or 5,000 bonus points.

Here’s the new form:

And you must choose the option:

But seems that there is an issue:

I filed a claim for a Marriott stay tomorrow and received a reply 33 minutes later that the claim had been approved (they promise to process claims for stays coming up in the nest 24 hours within 4 hours) but couldn’t figure out if I had chose the bonus points or the discount due to system update.

Conclusion

This is a welcome change for the Marriott’s LNF BRG program. Especially on inexpensive rates the 25% discount is hardly anything and 5,000 bonus points much better choice. They could have chosen bit higher amount of points, however, considering that SPG’s 2,000 Starpoints convert to 6,000 Marriott.

I really like how fast Marriott is able to process claims for same or next day arrival. I wish that SPG’s process would be as fast (you need to file minimum 24 hours before standard check in time).
