"Kraft's IHG code (105406) is a food and beverage corporate code. Kraft Heinz (as it's now known) HQ is in Chicago IL and Pittsburgh PA. IHG enforcement: Holiday Inn Express essentially never checks food company codes; Crowne Plaza occasionally. No Kraft+IHG specific verification incident documented. Consumer packaged goods codes at IHG follow the same pattern as McDonald's and Coca-Cola: low scrutiny due to ambiguous franchise/supplier affiliation."

"Dell's IHG code (954284898) is listed in the FlyerTalk IHG Rate Codes master thread but community members have noted: "the codes are generally not giving any significant discount — maybe 6 to 10% at the most. In some cases, the corporate rate essentially just gives you a refundable rate at the same price as the non-refundable rate." Low discount spread means low enforcement motivation. The practical consensus is that a sub-10% discount at Holiday Inn / Crowne Plaza tier rarely triggers ID requests. Risk rises at InterContinental properties, but overall Dell's IHG code is among the lower-risk corporate codes given the minimal discount depth."

"Ace Hardware's IHG code (100862437) is a retail cooperative corporate code. No FlyerTalk or Reddit discussion found specifically about Ace Hardware IHG verification. Retail sector codes at IHG Holiday Inn Express properties are essentially never verified. Ace Hardware is a dealer cooperative, not a traditional employer — verification of "Ace employee" status is inherently ambiguous. IHG enforcement is tier-based: InterContinental properties might ask; Holiday Inn Express properties rarely do."
