Chris-

Tried every which way to research this via the newly-restored search function with no success.

Question: Are the (Ren and Marriott) "Free Second Weekend Night" EEOs valid when using the AAA rate?

Opinion here (in other threads), seems to be "yes," but two separate calls to Plat Line CSA's resulted in an interpretation, after a "Publicly Available Rate" lookup that the answer was "no."

The reason I asked is that neither rep could locate anything specific, but rather said that as they understood the definition of "Publicly Available" to be, "no special id or verification required at check-in" translated into meaning that since the AAA card must be presented to secure it, the AAA rate was not one that could be considered "Publicly Available".

I currently have a reservation at $174. weekend rate per night at a Ren. If I can rebook as "AAA" that rate drops to $139.

It's a three-day booking with one night free; potentially I can save $50. on the two paid nights.

Not a huge deal (since I could cancel and re-book back-to-back reservations; two nights at the weekend rate and one as AAA, but a clarification, (one way or the other), would be appreciated.

Thanks.
