There are many exclusions to the guarantee. Did they give you a reason?

They did say that there is an event in the area

You get $200 if they can't get you the room, iirc.

How do I get that?

I'm a Marriot Platinum member and tried to book a hotel over 48 hours in advance and I am being told there is no room available. Anyone ever have this? Who can I complain to? Any ideas?

Westmount has been around for quite a bit and I've never heard of any issues. They have a good reputation and what to lose. I'd trust them.
But always price out the Damage Waiver, it could be their vendor charges more on that etc

These leasing companies maintain an edge by cutting deals with dealerships which enable them to sometime offer these deals. Unique Motors many times has had deals that others couldn't come close too.

As a general rule Unique Motors prices won't be beat on any Toyota leases (partly due to partnership in dealership).

Westmount will beat any other price other brokers will offer - sometimes making no money on the deal just to retain you as a customer.

Not going to help until Dr eilenberg retires and moves to Florida

I used to be part of his practice (Dr. Gittleman now) and my kids got all their vaccines. He will give it but you have to really push him.

I was once at a Lakewood Chiropractor who was "excited and proud" to tell me that Lakewood Rabbonim said not to use her because of her anti-vaccine opinions. I asked her that if those Rabbonim said not to eat in a certain restaurant would she eat there... She said No and I walked out.
