"Electronic Data Systems (EDS) IHG code (136905) follows the same profile as EDS Marriott — a widely-circulated code from a company now absorbed into HP/DXC Technology. FlyerTalk's IHG Rate Codes thread: "A moderator explicitly cautioned: unless you're employed by one of those companies, I would avoid using these codes at all. They do often ask for ID." EDS employee credentials (badges) no longer exist post-HP acquisition, which could complicate verification. IHG InterContinental: likely to ask; Holiday Inn Express: rarely."

"IHG corporate codes vary by brand. Airport Holiday Inns rarely check credentials, while InterContinentals in major cities almost always do. The likelihood of a request for ID is based on the size of the discount — the greater the discount, the more diligent the front desk. Be prepared to be asked for company ID if the discount rate is more than the standard 15% given to most corporates, or if the company rate is a fixed rate lower than the hotel's ADR. Cisco's IHG code (954410926) sits alongside IBM and Dell in the widely-circulated FlyerTalk master list; tech-company codes at this tier typically yield 10-25% savings and trigger occasional verification at full-service properties but rarely at Holiday Inn Express tier."

"FedEx Freight American Freightways (954105683) is an IHG code for a FedEx freight division. The FedEx/IHG enforcement pattern applies across all FedEx business unit codes: IHG InterContinental properties request employee ID; IHG Holiday Inn Express properties essentially never do. FedEx's reported monitoring of hotel booking volume means anomalous usage could trigger company-side audit. FedEx employee IDs are standardized physical badges. Properties near FedEx facilities (Memphis TN, Indianapolis IN) are most verification-active."
