"Do hotels that accept this code ask for a company ID? i wanted to use this code at the Park Hyatt Tokyo, but I don't work for General Electric."

"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 would strongly advise the use of a corporate discount code that you are not entitled to. No doubt that IBM would receive a summary of all reservations made under their code and at what property, and no doubt lurkers on here would be well aware of unauthorised use. In essence it amounds to fraud and I would not want IBM or Hyatt's legal department against me."
