I searched the forums and couldn't find details regarding this. I'm specifically interested in a list of hotel loyalty programs that still get honored (still accrue status and points/rewards/etc) even when staying under a USA federal government per diem rate as a contractor and not an official government employee. I know in some cases the distinction doesn't matter, but it does for others. My research has also led me to believe that some hotels won't even give you a government rate as a contractor. All I have found is that IHG works, marriot perhaps doesn't (not 100% sure), possibly wyndham does. Looking for people who have experience with this to provide input.
