Any thoughts on AAA rates? They could argue I have to be “affiliated” with a particular organization to receive that rate.
I see that someone has responded that AAA rates have worked for them. For me, I’ve never once had a Marriott.com purchase successfully post when going through the AA e shopping portal and using a AAA rate. I’ve never challenged the lack of miles; I’ve always chalked it up to using the AAA rate.

So it sounds like it may be a YMMV situation.
