I'm reserving rooms for me and two colleagues, and was able to reserve all three rooms on the AAA rate on marriott.com (in a single reservation - chose 3 rooms in the search, shows up as single res with 3 confurmation numbers). However the rate notes indicated a max of 2 rooms per AAA member. In practice, Is this just a minor detail of no consequence, or is one of us going to end up paying walk-up rate? Thanks for your experience.
Max 2 rooms on AAA rate, but was able to reserve three?
Rates & BookingAny of your colleagues have T-Mobile for their cell service? If so - they are automatically AAA members as well. Easy fix.
We are all made of stardust AAA.
lol good catch
While I’ve never booked more than 2 rooms, I’ve only been carded twice for the AAA rate so it probably isn’t enforced that much. A Sheraton in Indiana and a Fairfield Inn in Oakhurst, CA
I’ve booked nine before. No one said anything. In fact I can’t remember ever having been asked to see my AAA card at a Marriott property.
If Marriott wanted to limit it to 2 rooms, the software should limit it to two rooms.
How, exactly? By keeping your reservation pending while they compare your booking and payment details against existing ones? What happens when someone just uses a different credit card to reserve the additional rooms? Software is never going to be able to prevent this.
I wouldn’t worry too much about that. I HIGHLY doubt that anyone will notice or care. While it is a discounted rate, the hotel still nets a greater profit on a AAA booking than an OTA one. Worst case scenario is one of the rates is updated to the retail rate.
you can reserve all you want. they'll only let you keep 2 when you arrive.
it's 2 room per member though, so if there are 2 aaa members you can book 4, etc.
Doesn't matter that you can book 3 rooms. Ultimately, the hotel can enforce the policy or let it slide.
