That is incorrect as the MMP associate rate does apply at Ritz-Carlton as I have used it several times.
Some Ritz-Carlton never offer it but others like the ones in D.C., Sarasota, and Naples can be very generous with what they offer.
Ritz-Carlton associate rate varies from $89-139 a night depending on location.
