GOLD Corp Discount?
When I enter my company's Worldwide Corp. Account#, I see rates that are slighly lower than AAA rates. These rates are called GOLD 4 Rates, which I am assuming to be my corp rates.
I'm sure I'm being paranoid, but how can I ensure this rate is a 'qualifying' rate?
Also, what does GOLD 4 mean - is it one of the better corp rates out there, or one of the less generous ones?
Thanks,
BB

"A Stay is qualified when paying Qualifying Room Rates, which include most business and leisure rates... Eligible Charges Worldwide include the following Qualifying Room Rates paid for hotel room nights: non-discounted rate, standard corporate rate, worldwide sales negotiated rate, national/regional/local government rate and specified leisure rates as confirmed by IHG's HOLIDEX® Plus reservation systems. Points will be awarded for Qualifying Room Rates booked through IHG central reservation offices, IHG web sites, travel agents or directly at the hotel. In addition, in North, South and Central America and the Caribbean, points may be collected on locally negotiated rates if these rates are discounted less than 30%. At Asia Pacific hotels, Qualifying Room Rates also include all locally negotiated rates".
