My company doesn't seem to normally do that, but every now and then we will have a breakfast rate.

I wonder if CYs are now focusing primarily on competing by nightly rate alone. It seems that quite often I will see CYs with the lowest rates of all Marriott brands in an area including FFIs, SHSs, RIs, etc.
