"Hyatt corporate codes as a category are documented on FlyerTalk: "You'll read countless stories of folks getting their IDs checked, and in some cases finding out that they needed either a special company letter or someone from the company to fax in their reason for staying there. There have also been some asks such as needing to have your company badge on hand." No BMW-specific Hyatt denial case found, but Hyatt is noted as stricter than Marriott overall."

"I was referring specifically to a corporate ID. I know international properties ask for passport. What I mean is that I have always been asked for both my corporate ID and personal ID every time I've used a corporate code at an int'l property."

"I agree with that, but I do think that Hyatt would garner a solid amount of business by offering a FT discount code. If Hyatt did this they would get some very good press here on FT and to my knowledge be the first large hotel/airline to offer such a discount to us. If the discount was decent enough...something greater than AAA discount, they would probably steal some biz from the competition. I belong to other forums where corporations do offer forum members a unique discount. Of course in the matter of minutes that code would be plastered all over fatwallet and slickdeals and no longer be unique."
