"Hyatt verification patterns from the mega-thread: "Just checked-in using corp rate at the Andaz Tokyo. Front desk asked for badge, business card and email." Park Hyatt Sydney actively liaises "directly with my companies travel desk to verify employees." However, Hyatt Place and Hyatt House rarely verify — one poster noted using corporate codes "dozens of times at Hyatt Place, asked once." Code 13365 appears in community lists alongside similar tech-tier codes; medium-discount tech codes at Hyatt Regency/Grand Hyatt get spot-checked, particularly at Asia-Pacific properties and high-value urban Park Hyatts."

"Just wanted to let you know that I tried using this code at Hyatt Regency Istanbul, and the guy asked me for ID. I explained that I was a contractor, but he wouldn't buy it and requested further verification. I told him to just charge me the regular rate, and I would get reimbursed. It was only a 25 euro difference per day."

"I know that my former employer, a very large non US-based multinational company (I am not sure if US-based companies are more careful due to liability issues etc.), doesn't really care whether or not the person using its hotel corporate rates (worldwide agreements with 2 different large hotel chains) is an employee. In fact the company secretly hopes that others (non-staff) use its corporate rate. The name of the game is volume and the more the volume the better the company's leverage on the hotel. That is why it is usually the hotels who insist on asking for company IDs or business cards (which I suppose anyone can print ... though I am not suggesting that FTers should go this route)."
