"I have been a Platinum for a few years (which implies I frequent Marriott properties on a regular basis) and up until tonight was NEVER asked for any id to justify a corporate rate or discount (I legitimately use a few corporate rates I am entitled to and AAA rates)"

"GAP Inc's Marriott code GAP is listed in corporate code databases. No verification incidents documented in FlyerTalk or Reddit discussions. Clothing retail corporate codes at Marriott receive minimal attention from front desk staff — retail employee IDs are not standardized enough to be reliably verified. US domestic properties rarely verify retail-sector codes."

"I'm guessing so, but I'm not a Marriott employee. Also, to answer some of the other questions floating around here, I have never been asked to produce my work ID when checking into the hotel that I booked using a corporate rate. I travel half a dozen times a year."
