"Kraft's IHG code (105406) is a food and beverage corporate code. Kraft Heinz (as it's now known) HQ is in Chicago IL and Pittsburgh PA. IHG enforcement: Holiday Inn Express essentially never checks food company codes; Crowne Plaza occasionally. No Kraft+IHG specific verification incident documented. Consumer packaged goods codes at IHG follow the same pattern as McDonald's and Coca-Cola: low scrutiny due to ambiguous franchise/supplier affiliation."

"Code 150711 is confirmed in the FlyerTalk IHG rate code master list alongside Microsoft (100857558) and IBM (000243132). IHG enforcement: some franchises instruct staff to ask all guests; others only ask if discount is better than 15% of flex rate. IHG T&Cs explicitly list using corporate rates without entitlement as grounds to close IHG account. Holiday Inn Express: minimal enforcement; InterContinental/Kimpton: almost always verify."

"HotelCorporateCodes.com rates Walmart IHG code 293512 as "Sometimes." IHG properties near Walmart's Bentonville AR HQ enforce verification more strictly — hotels that see the same corporate code 50 times a day become experts at identifying valid employee badges. Standard IHG pattern: Holiday Inn Express/Candlewood rarely verify; InterContinental/Kimpton almost always verify. Walmart code works well at mid-tier IHG properties in most US markets outside Bentonville."
