"Southwest Airlines's Marriott code SW8 is an airline employee code. Airline employee IDs are physical company-issued badges — well-recognized by hotel staff at airport corridor Marriott properties. Properties near Southwest's Dallas Love Field HQ, Phoenix, Baltimore, Denver, and Las Vegas hubs are most likely to verify. FlyerTalk's general airline employee code thread: "Airline codes are more likely to be checked than random corporate codes because the front desk knows what an airline badge looks like." No SW8-specific denial documented."

"I mean, it depends on the size of the hotel. Having one person on night shift for a Fairfield isn’t uncommon. The better hotels have more people working at front desk even at night simply due to the size and brand. I’d however say though, if the property has been notified of the guest’s check in time in advance, and part of deal of getting into night shift is to check people in at unusual hours like that, then it certainly does not sound right to me that the front desk agent cannot have the meal earlier or later out of that many hours of the shift."

"I have stayed 100s of times with various corporate rates (including Japan) and the only hotel that has asked is W hotels. Even then they didn’t push much. I have been a consultant for 20 years and many clients require you to use their rates when they are paying the bill. The hotel doesn’t have an up to date list of every employee that works for a company globally. The woman at the W said “I don’t really care, just show me anything on your phone that says your name and that company. You can type an email now “."
