"E&Y (alt) Marriott code 253511 is a secondary Ernst & Young code, alongside the primary EYC code. Fishbowl posts from Big 4 staff: "How do I use the Acc or E&Y codes at Marriott and get around the ID check piece?" — confirming that consulting firm ID checks are a well-known friction point. The same risk profile applies to secondary codes: US select-service essentially never checks; US full-service 10-20%; international meaningfully higher. EY (Ernst & Young) branded itself as EY globally in 2013 — some properties may still see "Ernst & Young" in the code description."

"I work for the front desk, at a Marriott, & have for the last 8 years .... So when it comes to room upgrades; it goes based on AVAILABILITY... sometimes no matter the tier, if we have it available - I will upgrade the guest. Now of course, higher tiered members get dibs on the upgrades first but after we go through the higher tiered members, Ambassador, Titanium, Platinum - then we go through the other ones. I cannot express this enough : BEING NICE & POLITE AT THE DESK GOES A LONG WA"

"I always see people saying that they aren’t able to do mobile check in. I’ve only stayed at two Marriott hotels where I tried to do mobile check in ( both of them never been to before) and they both let me without having to go to the front desk which I was really happy about because I had lost my ID and didn’t know how I was going to check in. Also I think I only had about 20 nights at the time, I usually stay with my boyfriend because he’s titanium."
