2 questions...
1. What's NPR for? It came up with PROMOTIONS - NAT'L/REG under "Rate Program" - I see something on here about the entertainment book...I have one...
2. Are they obligated to honor it? It says NOTHING about needing any special ID upon check-in.
I'm worried about canceling the 131 rate and getting there and someone being strict and not honoring it. I realize it's low...but after 140 nights this year, no EEO certificates (mine NEVER show up) and 4 years as a platinum...am I due for a "Gift?"
THOUGHTS???

I believe that NPR stands for "National Promotional Rate" as opposed to LPR which is "Local Promotional Rate". But, various hotels seem to use them for various purposes. Some even use them for the VIP athletic rate. I'd say go ahead and book a room at the 10 Euro rate and print out the T&C / rate rules. Also print out a copy of your 131 rate reservation before cancelling it. If they try to balk on the 10 euro rate, and you show them the 131 rate you cancelled, I'd think they'd be willing to compromise and at least give you the 131 rate.
