Got an email back from Nick. Said that if I wanted to take advantage of the Visa Double Points promo, that I should try to book online thru the HHonors site using the Group Promo LIU and if that works I could cancel the previous reservation. He did not mention lowering the rate any more.

Boag, Nightflyers were paying $66 a night so that would save them $4 a night. We know that anyone working for the Govt. has no problems with an additional $4 but those of us who work for a living. . . . :)
