The discount section of the site indicates that firefighters are eligible for the government employee discount at the Swan & Dolphin. Does anyone know if they have ever denied volunteer firefighters this discount? When volunteering we are still technically employee of the local government, we just aren't being paid for it.

Thanks
 
I believe you have to show proof of employment. If you go to their web site and click on gov't employee rate, a box pops up saying proof of employment must be shown.

I know when I checked for a nurses rate, I was told that my nurse's license would not be enough and I had to show a check stub. The problem is that I have direct deposit and never get a check stub.:confused3

Just something to look into, most places that offer direct deposit also offer a copy of the paystub that can be printed off from online. Good Luck.

:confused3 I dont know about firefighters, but I was told that they do not offer any discounts for police officers, only Military, Teachers and Nurses!
 

Just as an FYI, I got a negative response from their phone reps on eligibility, but a more positive (and specific) response when I emailed them [info@swananddolphin.com] (which is good, because if I keep the res, I can print the "yes, you qualify" email and take it with me).
 
Thanks for the replies. I found this on the Dreams Unlimited Travel page for the Swan & Dolphin FAQ:
