Of course, I was told that at the JW as well, and all I had to do was ask nicely and I received coupons for breakfast, so YMMV. I do know that the "official" line I received was that it was no longer an automatic platinum perk at the Mayflower or any of the DC hotels where I had previously received coupons.
I'm very surprised and disappointed to hear this. I hope this is not true - maybe you were talking to uninformed employees?
I have to pay extra for at FS properties for things that are free at courtyards and such, and I really look forward to the free breakfast at FS properties. I'll generally go to a competing property that offers breakfast if necessary.
