"Prudential Financial's Marriott code PRU is a financial services code. Finance codes in major business centers (NYC, Newark NJ where Prudential is HQ'd) face more scrutiny. FlyerTalk's finance sector enforcement thread: "NYC-area full-service Marriotts — the W, the Westin, the Marquis — have all been reported in individual accounts as asking for corporate ID." Prudential's massive Newark/NYC presence means front desk staff are familiar with Prudential employee badges. No PRU-specific denial documented; pattern-based Medium risk."

"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 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."
