Mariott Bonvoy chain has member rates for a reason, and they are great, although they could be more predictable so that I could search on booking.com and know the member pricing.

I never saw any "great" member rates via Bonvoy, they are typically just 5% lower than the street price. And in exchange I should surround my ability to choose from all other competitors. Also, they will not allow mw to reclaim any points/benefits for stays booked via agents. It's understandable, but looks extremely cheap.
Sure, I understand it, I also first look at the hotels to go, but I go to a lot of reserves, and the best ones are quite often Ritz Carlton or Four Seaons. Four Seasons don't have member rates though.

Can you tell us a bit more about your experience with them? And costs?
My favourite hotel with them with value/price with member rate was this Ritz Carlton in Portugal (less than 200 USD/night for standard room):

If you use their site, they give you some money that you can use to eat at their pricey, but amazing restaurants (also 2 of the hotel's restaurants has Michelin star, but I haven't tried those yet).
Their swimming pool / jacuzzi is bad, but the nature, the castle and the room is great.
