Every major chain's government & military rate: eligibility, the booking path, per-diem alignment and the ID the front desk asks for — read from each chain's own published policy, checked and dated.
Per-diem rate with valid ID, plus the leisure-only Military Family Rate — veterans included.
Checked 2026-09-04The only big-4 chain naming contractors (CRCs) — and nearly half its hotels are in FedRooms.
Checked 2026-09-04No canonical program page exists — and the “FOSEE” code isn’t Marriott’s. We say exactly that.
Checked 2026-09-04Government dropdown rate, plus the one real big-4 typed code — MILVET, for military leisure stays.
Checked 2026-09-04One combined discount — veterans and cost-reimbursable contractors explicitly eligible.
Checked 2026-09-04Federal per-diem rate auto-applied, plus a 12% military rate — 15% at Super 8 and Days Inn.
Checked 2026-09-04The most granular publisher: five VP codes by purpose — official, leisure, contractors, family, PCS.
Checked 2026-09-04No chain-wide program at all — documented as a finding, so you don’t argue at a front desk.

Chain's own pages only. Rate terms, booking engines and help pages — never blogs or forums, which is where dead codes come from.
Dated on every page. Each fact carries its source link and the day we read it, so you know exactly how fresh a claim is.
"Not published" is an answer. Where a chain doesn't say, we print that — because the front desk decides, and you deserve to know before you book.
