"Oracle (alt) code 77377 at Marriott represents a secondary Oracle code — but Oracle's primary Marriott code (ORA) is GDS-only and cannot be used for direct consumer booking, per multiple FlyerTalk threads. "Oracle even owns a Marriott property" and this relationship means Oracle rates are monitored closely. Any Oracle code being used for a non-employee direct booking is essentially unauthorized. Multiple FlyerTalk users have documented: "Oracle codes trigger a rate audit at luxury/full-service properties." High risk rating reflects Oracle's corporate travel policy enforcement."

"I have seen many of my corporate rates with 6:00 same day cancellation. If someone were ineligible for that rate and asked for ID at checkin, I guess they could say I have some business cards in the car and then go and cancel the reservation before the agent changes the details."

"I stayed under a corporate rate at six different hotels in Japan over the course of two weeks, I did have a company name badge with me in case anyone asked, but I was never asked to provide proof. Properties were Sheraton, St. Regis, Westin, and Marriott."
