Marriott Updates Best Rate Guarantee Terms: Limits to 2 Guests, Drops Refund Policy

Marriott Bonvoy updated its Best Rate Guarantee terms, limiting eligible matches to reservations with 1 or 2 guests and removing the refund policy requirement from qualifying comparison rates

What happened

  • Refund Policy: The requirement for the comparison rate to have the same refund policy has been removed altogether.
  • Submission Window: Claims must be submitted within 24 hours of booking the Marriott reservation and at least 24 hours before standard check-in.
  • Qualifying Rate: The comparison rate must be for the same hotel, room, bed type, number of guests (up to 2), same inclusions (e.g., breakfast), reservation dates, and cancellation policy on a non-Marriott website or app

Marriott Bonvoy has updated the terms and conditions for its Best Rate Guarantee (BRG). Key changes include: - Guest Limit: Marriott will now only match rates for reservations with 1 or 2 guests. This change makes it impossible for families finding cheaper rates elsewhere to get them matched.
