My understanding with government rates is that points/stay credit is rewarded for a stay. However, after booking rooms at Westin Kierland and Sheraton Wild Horse Pass (Phoenix, AZ), both online confirmations say "NO AIR PTS/MILES RTE". I'm not sure if this is refering just to no partner airline miles or also no SPG points as well.
I did a quick search and found this:

Anyone have any experience with this? Thanks in advance.
