"Oracle (alt) code 77377 at Marriott represents a secondary Oracle code — but Oracle's primary Marriott code (ORA) is GDS-only and cannot be used for direct consumer booking, per multiple FlyerTalk threads. "Oracle even owns a Marriott property" and this relationship means Oracle rates are monitored closely. Any Oracle code being used for a non-employee direct booking is essentially unauthorized. Multiple FlyerTalk users have documented: "Oracle codes trigger a rate audit at luxury/full-service properties." High risk rating reflects Oracle's corporate travel policy enforcement."

"I was asked for proof at a Courtyard in Cape Cod. They said badge or email verification was fine."

"Re: AAA rate. For years I didn't get asked for it & so stopped carrying the card, then one time at LHR Ren I was asked for it & I didn't have it. They let me keep the rate as a 1-time exception & since then I've carried the AAA card with me. PRG Marriott asked for it. I've not experienced it domestically, but have heard that some domestic properties carry it."
