No offense people, but this is why I'm asking for a MARRIOTT response.

I think your question is does Marriott's lowest rate guarantee apply to AAA rates & I don't know. Hopefully, Marriott can answer that question for you.
Yes, I know what LNF means. No, that is not the question.

Well, this IS the question. What is the basis of your statement? Do you actually know something or are you just giving a belief or your experience?

Because LNF rates are booked through Marriott, there's no reason they shouldn't qualify for points or night credit. Similarly, if you book through Marriott.com with a rate code, you should receive the points and night credit.
.....
Again, if you book directly through Marriott, you shouldn't be worrying about whether you'll get points.
Again, I get what LNF is, and again, do you actually know what qualifies for points or night credit or are you assuming?

No offense, I'm not trying to be rude, but a number of people have posted contradictory answers.
