Axis Atlas MCC issue with Atlas CC hotel booking

[sanx]

I recently booked a hotel using my Atlas CC. Now the property belongs to the forest department and as I verified from the axis customer care they have used the MCC 9399, which falls under government transactions. So as per rules, I won't earn any EdgeMiles for this transaction.

Probablt this is a long shot; but is there any possibility to request Axis to grant me Edgemiles (maybe after showing proofs of the type of transaction)?

Try but less chances

Don't keep you hopes alive... You won't get it. They will simply deny stating it's the hotel's management mistake of having wrong MCC linked with their POS.
Give a try I haven't heard anyone till date they have received EM for wrong MCC. Even guys who bought cars mapped with wrong MCC haven't received EM.
Try your luck and if its successful let us know..

Should have booked after 2 days.

As per recent change in terms and condition, now rewards are not as per MCC but transaction category. Discuss with them on this point and you might be able to succeed

Which state it this? If it is Kerala all government owned establishments have 9399 as their MCC irrespective of sector. Unfortunately this is govt policy probably to make accounting streamlined or something. Even liqour shops and KSRTC have 9399.
