"HSBC's HSB code is listed across all major aggregators and rated "Sometimes" by hotelcorporatecodes.com. HSBC has a formal Marriott Bonvoy partnership (HSBC Premier cardholders receive complimentary Silver Elite status), making the brand relationship well-known to hotel staff — but this awareness cuts both ways. Finance-sector Medium calibration applies, with higher risk at NYC Midtown and London properties where HSBC has dense employee concentration."

"I think the generic 'show corp id' designation means show the company business card. I think a lot of us don't have them or, if we do & we're not going to an office that we'd need to show them, leave them at home. I worked for some F500s that didn't require corp ids with shiny smiling faces on them & others that did; same with company credit cards. All, however, provided biz cards when working for them."

"I wanted a higher room floor at a Seattle area hotel. I requested it at the front desk when checking in. The front desk thanked me for being a platinum member and told me that the hotel is fully booked and no “upgrades” to a higher floor for me. The girl behind me checked in and she was thanked for being gold, and they gave her a free upgrade to a suite and let her choose which room she wanted! I asked about the upgrade and they told me it’s random. I spoke to the manager and the manager said lots of rooms available and she gave me 5 rooms to choose from. 🤷🏻♂️ In the end, I got my upgrade. Had to fight for it."
