I’m guessing that drtdk's point was that if a term of the EEO certificate is vague, he/she thinks Marriott gets the opportunity to clarify it. I'm sensing that NJUPINTHEAIR disagrees. Two legitimate opinions but neither is definitively right or wrong. NJUPINTHEAIR can continue to fight what he feels is the good fight and others of us who are older, wiser and/or more experienced may pick our battles a bit more selectively.

Maybe we all can agree that the certificate's language should be tightened up a bit. I also believe that pinniped has the most reasoned take on all this.

I’m compelled to correct one of the quoted errors. The AAA discount sometimes can be much more than 10%. Last month, I paid $189/night on F, S and S at the NYES using the AAA rate, which was at least $90 less than the "publicly listed" rate. That discount was closer to a third by my math.
