Holy f*** I think I need to buy a lottery ticket this weekend.
Just had a Marriott BPG approved within 3 hours, no arguments. $556, reduced to the match from the Destina website, which was $294, and they take an additional 25% off so I’m only paying $260.
Nearly $300 off for filling in a form.
Kudos to Marriott for the experience, totally unlike the lies and unethical behaviour of IHG when I tried a similar BPG with them last year.
If anyone wants to try their luck in future there’s a reddit thread on which site’s prices are valid for claiming and which ones are banned.
