I got a great discount using the government rate in York GB in October. Reading the Marriott Ts and Cs it appears that this rate (if offered) should work for a US government employee in any country. Anyone have experience?
Got a 50% reduction using NPR in Newcastle upon Tyne also in October. It came up as the Entertainment rate, but heck, I've got an Entertainment card. Anyone with experience with this discount?
I bought the entertainment card the spring of 07 just b/c the discounts to a couple of the properties I was staying at was so incredible it was just worth it to have it just in case the asked which they never did at any of the properties. Since I was on longer stays, I do estimate I saved close to a couple grand just by using that rate.. got points and stay credit too ^
