[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a government issued ID, so do my kids. My DH works for federal government. I have traveled many times by myself, or with kids, without DH and got the rate without any issues.  So, has my DS. I was told today that DS can't get the government rate, nor can I, that only DH can get it in person.  In the past, I got the rate even when my travel wasn't on travel orders, but for personal travel.  Does anybody know what the rules are?  And are they just trying not to give DS, who just turned 18, a room?  I am confused.  This is the same chain, Marriot, that we have used many times in the past.  In the past even Hyatt gave him the rate without asking for his gov ID, when DS was traveling with a coach. If anybody knows exact rules, please let me know. Thanks.[/quote]

There are no exact rules.  It's up to the hotel.  When you book online and click on the definition of the rate it should tell you.  But I've never heard of a hotel where the government rate can be extended to a non gov employee (you).  Your husband should be checking in and prepared to show his ID.  [/quote]
