"Facebook/Meta's Marriott code FSF is one of the more recently discussed tech giant codes. FlyerTalk tech-company code thread: "Meta's corporate rate delivers solid discounts in the Bay Area." Properties near Meta HQ in Menlo Park/Palo Alto are most likely to see genuine Meta employees and to verify. Meta's standard corporate ID is a photo badge with company logo — easily recognizable by hotel staff in Silicon Valley. Hotels farther from Meta's campus presence: minimal verification. Post-2022, Bay Area Marriott full-service properties (W Hotel SF, San Jose Marriott) have increased scrutiny of tech company codes."

"I have a close friend who is a GM at a Marriott property in a fairly large US city (top 25 metro population). Their opinion is basically, "Hey, it's business. I'm not turning away a paying guest if they don't have the right ID." In this person's younger days as a front desk agent, they enjoyed catching people trying to use a corporate rate that the guest was not entitled to. As they became higher up and saw the books, occupancy rates, etc... Corp ID's became far less important than filling rooms."

"My employer does not have a corporate rate but when I'm consulting for a company that does, I use theirs. I've only been challenged for identification once. In that one situation I explained the consulting arrangement, and the desk clerk accepted it without a badge or business card (neither of which I had anyway)."
