"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."

"lol, my front desk managers *hated* any time I asked them to cover AYS. They’d go out to the desk and help no problem, but I always got some kind of attitude asking them to hop on the phone for my break. I worked at a ~650 room property and was regularly scheduled by myself for AYS second shift."

"I think the last time I was asked for proof was in a JW Marriott in Beijing. I have never been asked in the US or Europe. Without a business card or ID, you may have an issue. Maybe you can contact the hotels in advance to see what info they need. I don’t remember if LinkedIn is available in China so I would talk to your Corp Travel team to see what they can do. Good news is that hotels are so much cheaper in China compared to ROW right now. ."

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