In November 2013, I traveled to Tokyo and attempted to see about a best rate guarantee for 20% off, but it did not work. I’m not exactly sure if it was the currency exchange. Either way I was disappointed.
In May 2014, I will be travelling to Hawaii and tried a BRG claim with Starwood and that was declined, but then I found a great deal with Marriott and had a successful BRG for a room for ~$125 a night.
In less than two weeks, I will be attending a wedding for a buddy at work where it won’t end until pretty late and didn’t want to get home terribly late so I booked a room in the city and had a successful Hyatt BRG.
Hyatt wanted $175/night on the advanced purchase
Getaroom.com had $165.75 for the same room.
I will now be paying $132.60 (20% off the lowest rate, which is $165.75) for the room before taxes. Comes out to be about 24% off the rate that Hyatt was asking for.
