"I also use AAA if the corporate is not available. In 10+ years of using AAA I had never been asked to show the card until last month in FL at two different properties. One was a HGI in Palm Beach Gardens and the other a CY in Stuart. Stayed at both since on AAA rate and wasn't asked."

"I work for a company that is partially owned by a Fortune 100 company and we have their corporate rate code linked to our travel website, (although it is one of the ones that is very easy to figure out). In 4+ years I've never been asked for any ID, although a few times a year I get the question of "what company are you with?""

"Bank One's Marriott code BOB may still exist in Marriott's GDS system following the 2004 acquisition by JPMorgan Chase. JPMorgan has a separate Marriott code (JPM). Legacy acquired-company codes are practically never verified as the hotel has no way to confirm employer identity for a company that no longer exists independently. Risk for legacy codes is negligible."

✅ Generally low risk

This code is rarely verified. Still, always compare prices — public rates sometimes beat corporate codes.
