Is there anything online I can reference or somewhere I can direct the property to for confirmation that this rate is now eligible to receive elite benefits. Frustratingly the rate isn’t much cheaper than the Healthcare Hero rate.
What property and what exactly did they say?

Most F&F rates that I've seen include "This rate is eligible to earn Marriott Bonvoy points or miles." in the rate details. Maybe start there.
