  3. The discounted rates are available based on the hotel's availability. 

  4. A credit card or debit card is required to hold your reservation. You must provide your card and ID at check-in for your room, tax and incidental fees. 

  5. If you are a Marriott or Hyatt loyalty member, you can add your loyalty number to your reservation earn points towards your stays.

Reservations booked through third-party websites like Expedia, Booking.com or Priceline will not offer a Catapult rate. These sites are great to use for last-minute bookings, but if you book in advance and cancel, they tend to not refund any deposits paid. You do not receive loyalty points when booking through third-party websites.
