Interesting. Who sent you the card? My DH is entitled to the VIP rate and has used it for probably as long as it has existed! He doesn't have a specific card. I guess if asked he would just pull out his business card. I'll have to ask if he has ever had to prove that he is entitled to it.

Yes, the VIP rate is for people employed in sports both at the collegiate level and professional level. This would be for things like recruiting, scouting and meetings. No idea if athletes are eligible. Also, I've never thought when making some of DH's reservations that the rates were deeply discounted. Might have been the properties.


When teams travel they typically have a group contract with the hotel which includes specific meals. Unfotunately, that means that only the one person who arranges the stay gets any points.
