"AT&T is among the companies with the best Marriott negotiated rates. In the US, I've never been asked to show corporate ID. In Asia and Europe, I've been asked for corporate ID every single time. Since some companies don't put their name on badges for security reasons, the business card route is often tried first and usually accepted."

"Same- we stay at a very large Jw often just for a quick get away and have gotten to know a few of the staff. We’ve checked in numerous times and have been told there aren’t any upgrades - I’m Platinum. No worries, we’re just happy to be on vacation for a few days. Shortly after we’ve seen a specific front desk agent that is always friendly with us and she has upgraded us (yes, after we’ve checked in) at least three times…. And mentioned as she’s doing it, “idk why they didn’t upgrade you…. “ we never asked her since we were already checked in and we’re fine with the regular room. But certainly, a suite is a nice upgrade and very much enjoyed."

"I have been a Platinum for a few years (which implies I frequent Marriott properties on a regular basis) and up until tonight was NEVER asked for any id to justify a corporate rate or discount (I legitimately use a few corporate rates I am entitled to and AAA rates)"
