Does anyone here knows if the Marriott Friends and Family rate, AAA and/or Government Discount rates also qualify and/or valid for the Taste of Gold/Platinum Challenge? I called Marriott this morning and the rep told me that all rates applies, except booking through a third party like Orbitz, etc. I am worried because I called back and was told strictly published fares on their website, no discounted rates. Now I'm really confused on this.
