I understand no one can force them to give rooms for certain rates and I have no problem with that. What I have a problem with is them accepting the reservation clearly outlining FFRDC eligibility, then at a 11pm check-in changing the rules.
So, do you guys get issued Government travel cards? If so, then Marriott considers it proof a elibility for the Government rate if you have your travel card number listed in your MR profile. Since I put mine in I have not been asked for a Government ID to verify elibility.
