"hotelcorporatecodes.com lists Home Depot N0794705 as "Sometimes" for ID check frequency. The site states: "ID verification may occur occasionally — it's not a guaranteed requirement for every booking, but the inconsistent verification pattern appears across many other Hilton corporate codes." Home Depot is a very large employer whose code circulates widely online, increasing the chance that a hotel with higher-than-average fraud awareness will verify it."

"I called the hotel and spoke with someone who was adamant that I had booked a Government On Business rate and would need to show Government ID. I explained that there was a difference between having access to a Corp code which allowed access to HM UK Government rates (which I have done regularly for 15 years) and booking an OnBusiness Government rate directly by clicking the box on Hilton.com (which I have never done). She wasn't moving and insisted this was the same thing."

"I completely understand that IDs aren't a big thing. I straddle both private and public and have ID from both sides. I have also held an ID card from two global banks and sure enough the bank name is not on the ID. I always wondered why, so thank you for explaining that."
