"PAG (Procter & Gamble) appears on multiple Marriott code lists with notes that it "works well in Asia" and has "unprecedented coverage in the Ohio River Valley / Cincinnati." hotelcorporatecodes.com lists PAG at 10-16% discount, "⚠️ Sometimes" verification, Global scope. One long-time FlyerTalk member with 1,500+ Starwood/Marriott nights stated: "I have NEVER been asked to produce a company ID." But geographic exceptions apply — Asia checks more reliably, and Cincinnati-area properties near P&G HQ apply it professionally. Risk calibrated at Medium consistent with comparable global consumer-goods corporate codes."

"I work as a consultant and frequently ask for and use my client's rates (at their insistence, since I will be billing them back). I have been asked for ID maybe one time in 15 since February, when it was announced in this forum that rates would be ID'ed."

"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 !!"
