"Intel (alt) Marriott code INL is a secondary Intel corporate code alongside the primary IBS code. The same low-enforcement pattern applies: Intel's IBS at 10-15% discount is in the low-pressure verification zone, and a secondary alt code is even less likely to be scrutinized. No INL-specific denial documented. Intel's Hillsboro OR HQ and campus cities (Hillsboro, Chandler AZ, Folsom CA) mean nearby properties handle Intel employees regularly but enforcement rates are low."

"I've been given codes for several chains from family/friends who are entitled to have them. All have assured me they have never been asked to provide company ID when checking in. In fact I was told they give the codes out to visiting clients who won't have ID anyway."

"In North America I've been asked a single time in the 15 years I've been using Corp rates (for a few years I'd use them on multiple stays per week). My trick is to approach the counter in a friendly way, ask how they are doing, maybe ask an easy question about the hotel (where's the gym?) and connect with them (boy it's hot out there today!) They are happy to have met you, it is a pleasant experience, and you go on your merry way. I'm also Titanium for life and currently have Ambassador, but I've done this when Gold and Platinum. For that one time they asked I said I had actually just started and didn't have my business cards yet, but should have them for my next stay and they let it go. I was never asked by that hotel again (Courtyard Bellevue on an Accenture rate.) Doing a mobile check-in will also shorten the time spent. Just have your ID and card ready to speed things along."
