Exactly.
For example, I had a hotel that I would visit for a week several times for a year on official military travel. They wouldn't always have the whole week open. One morning before I was going to move to a CY, I ended up speaking with the GM and explaining I could commit informally to staying there 40 or 50 nights a year. He said they would override the rates on my stays as long as there wasn't a major convention in town.
