"FedEx has multiple IHG codes covering different business units (FedEx Ground, FedEx Freight, FedEx Supply Chain). FlyerTalk's dedicated FedEx hotel rate thread notes: "FedEx reportedly monitors hotel usage volume — inflated usage could affect their contract negotiations." IHG enforcement follows brand-tier pattern: InterContinental/Kimpton properties may request ID; Holiday Inn Express essentially never checks. FedEx employee IDs are standard-issue company badges and well-recognized. One user warned of being charged rack rate after failing to produce credentials at a Crowne Plaza."

"FedEx Supply Chain Services (100172336) and FedEx Trade Networks (970001266) are IHG codes for FedEx supply chain and trade services divisions. The same FedEx IHG enforcement pattern applies: tier-dependent verification at IHG properties. FedEx Supply Chain has major facilities in Memphis, Pittsburgh, and across the US Southeast — IHG Holiday Inn properties near those facilities are familiar with FedEx employee badges. FedEx Trade Networks focuses on international freight logistics; international IHG InterContinental properties carry higher verification risk."

"I had the same experience with the IBM corporate rate. When I went to IBM sites to install machines they always said stay at one of these hotels and tell them you need the IBM rate. Always worked and saved a lot of money and I always got full credit with the hotels frequent stay program."
