"De Beers' Marriott code D86 is for the diamond mining and retail conglomerate. De Beers has a very small global employee base (under 10,000) concentrated in South Africa, Botswana, Namibia, Canada, and London. The code is niche enough that US Marriott front desk staff have limited familiarity. No FlyerTalk or Reddit thread discusses De Beers Marriott verification incidents. The company's small headcount and non-US focus mean hotels are unlikely to encounter legitimate De Beers code users — or to scrutinize them."

— FlyerTalk general pattern; hotelcorporatecodes.com

"FlyerTalk community specifically notes the MMM code as "the go-to code for the Minneapolis/St. Paul area, described as extremely reliable at local Courtyard and Residence Inn properties, with a low risk rating." One user documented using an IBM rate for 14 years at 80-100+ nights annually and "never once being asked for an ID." Another stayed 500+ nights and was never asked. The 3M code is regionally well-known near 3M's Minnesota HQ."
