"JOH is listed on FlyerTalk's "List of publicly usable Marriott reservation codes" as one of the widely-circulated three-letter ticker codes. A self-identified J&J employee was cautioned: "the code is not meant to be shared publicly — the proper way to get it is to email someone from your company." hotelcorporatecodes.com lists JOH at 10-15% discount with "⚠️ Sometimes" verification. FlyerTalk general pattern: pharma/healthcare corporate codes at full-service Marriott yield ~30% chance of check at urban US properties, near-certain in Europe/Asia, essentially zero at select-service. The code's ticker-symbol obviousness means it circulates widely, which has historically triggered audit flags at some properties."

"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 have a close friend who is a GM at a Marriott property in a fairly large US city (top 25 metro population). Their opinion is basically, "Hey, it's business. I'm not turning away a paying guest if they don't have the right ID." In this person's younger days as a front desk agent, they enjoyed catching people trying to use a corporate rate that the guest was not entitled to. As they became higher up and saw the books, occupancy rates, etc... Corp ID's became far less important than filling rooms."
