The few times I've tried it the NASO card would have been more expensive than the rate I got.

I've gotten some big bargains. I always try the VIP rate alongside the other discount rate codes I'm entitled to use. Sometimes I win, sometimes I don't. Mostly I stay at Starwood Hotels these days, so it doesn't really matter.
