socrates - you seem to have some inside knowledge on the impending change... Is this a Marriott initiative only or is their some cooperation with GSA (or someone other government-related body) to step up enforcement of use of the government credit cards? From the terms ohmark posted, it seems this may not be completely Marriott-driven? I know that compliance with the required usage of the government travel card has been a problem - at least in my little portion of the government travel world - for quite some time.
