EEOs are special offers and cannot be used in conjunction with the RejuvaNATION promotion. I apologize for the misinformation you, and others, were provided. If a hotel accepts the combination of the RejuvaNATION rate and any other offer, discount coupon, sale promotion, or prior purchase or purchase of a gift certificate, it is a goodwill gesture and not a requirement for them to do so.

Don't get me wrong I believe they should be valid especially considering my point in that thread, that at many hotels I have no choice but to book the Global Rate rate (if I don't want a golf package or a spa package and those wouldn't work for EEos anyway) and it's not right (and a little silly) that I can't book a hotel for the next few weeks and not be able to use an EEO. But you can read through the whole thread for all the points and counterpoints.
Again, you are referencing posts on another Marriott Promotion. The Global Rate Break is a publicly available rate and it is combinable with the EEO as confirmed by the Platinum Reservation line for me this morning.
In addition, on May 21, 2009 Kate, one of the Marriott Reps on this board, responded as follows to a question raised in a similar thread as referenced a few posts up.
Hello,
The Global Rate Break is a publicly listed rate, so yes, you will be able to redeem your EEO's with rooms booked with the rate.
Regards,
Kate

I still envision problems using the EEO, not only with the Global Rate Break, but with any rate and I am sure I will be calling the Plat line again, as I have done so often in the past, to get it resolved while trying to check out. This seems to be a training issue, because most of the FD staff do not know how to process these and there is usually no management presence on a Sunday morning, IME.
