We have been told that "enough revenue" is defined by an eligible rate.

Since FFN is outside of the realm of any other program in the industry, it would be fair for HGP to say you earn credit with an eligible rate PLUS $100 in qualified incidentals. I can tell you I would still earn my FFNs if this were the requirement!
$50 might not be the number, but at some number, it clearly makes great sense. That is, the concept to allow credit on an "ineligible" rate for $X of in-hotel expenditures.
