[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you are a government employee or government contractor, depending on hotel policy you can get the government rate for business or leisure. You are not eligible for the rate as a spouse or a child. [/quote]

Most hotels don't allow a gov't contractor price when I've looked as my husband is a contractor.

If OP is military and has a military ID, some hotels will allow dependents (spouse and child) to use the military discount.  Some require you to be on official travel and others allow leisure.  Most people don't know the difference between a dependent ID and active duty/retiree ID who work at hotels, stores and more.  A few times we've been told that generally the military discount is for official travel only but they've given it to us (usually I check in with my ID as a retiree dependent but my husband is always with me).  Children get the same benefits if they have an ID.  I see people screaming for the discounts all the time at places like home depot or lowes when they only allow those with actual ID's (so retirees or active duty, not veterans) and not everyone is eligible for the same discounts, especially Veterans.  Veterans like to scream the loudest which is funny as many only serve a few years.  Rarely have an issue as retirees.

Often the military discount is different from the government discount so OP could be asking for one vs. the other and not eligible.[/quote]
