"Ford (alt) Hilton code N0900266 appears to be a secondary Ford Motor Company code. Ford's primary Hilton code is rated Low — no documented verification incidents outside Detroit-area properties. Ford has major HQ in Dearborn MI; Hilton properties in that market are familiar with Ford employees but the general US-wide enforcement rate is very low (~10-20% Hilton average). Secondary codes circulate less widely and face even less scrutiny than primary corporate codes."

"I have a client that requires me to use their rate when traveling on their dime. I’ve never been asked to provide ID, but I can simply say that I’m a contractor for said company."

"FlyerTalk's dedicated Hilton FedEx thread provides community data: "Hilton is hit or miss about checking for special codes. I have used several codes, all real, and have been asked maybe 20% of the time to show proof." Another user: "I honestly can't remember the last time I made a reservation without some kind of corp code. I have never once been asked to show any sort of ID." FedEx reportedly monitors Hilton usage volume, which could affect contract renewal terms. HotelCorporateCodes.com rates this as "Sometimes.""
