"Kroger's Marriott code KRO is a major grocery retail corporate code. No FlyerTalk thread discusses KRO verification incidents. Kroger has 500,000+ US employees making ID verification impractical. Grocery retail corporate travel primarily occurs at select-service properties (Courtyard, Fairfield) near distribution centers and regional offices — property types that essentially never verify corporate codes. hotelcorporatecodes.com lists retail codes as "low enforcement" overall."

"Deutsche Bahn's Marriott code 11353 is a German railway operator code in the global GDS system. Outside Germany, this code is essentially unknown to hotel front desk staff. German Marriott properties near Deutsche Bahn offices may be more familiar, but the code is rarely discussed in English-language travel forums. No verification incidents found. European public transit company codes attract minimal scrutiny."

"I have never been asked (yet) at Marriott but usually I show up at the desk by handing over ID/credit card. Don't read this as me endorsing going crazy using the codes that you aren't supposed to use! Interesting about the client reports going back daily."

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