"Consulting firms like Kearney sit in the same tier as Deloitte and Accenture — one Fishbowl Lifetime Titanium member (1,500+ nights) estimated corporate code ID checks at roughly 0.5–1% of US check-ins. A three-letter ticker-style code like ATK has moderate forum circulation, keeping it in the standard Medium tier. In Europe and Asia verification is requested close to 100% of the time; in the US it is almost never enforced outside luxury full-service properties."

"I get asked every single time on Government Rates/Per Diem Rates. (Multiple properties per month) I just know to keep my ID right there. Every once in a while they will try to photo copy it and then have to explain that isn’t allowed, otherwise I have no issues with it being validated."

"I work front desk and it seems like management is really pushing to check IDs for any special rate. Personally im lazy and also don’t care that much to start a confrontation so I only verify govt rates and employee rates, but yes it is being enforced more harshly. Corporate rates I guess are easy to find online and thus abused. Again, I don’t care that much because they’re still pricey anyway !!"
