"hotelcorporatecodes.com lists BASF N0001125 in the "Rarely" ID check category alongside Dow Chemical, McDonald's, Nestlé, and Siemens. Chemical/industrial sector codes historically draw less scrutiny than consulting or finance codes. FlyerTalk noted: "The internet and all the sharing of corp rate codes has caused some hotel properties to have a lower ADR" but enforcement remains uneven; industrial company codes at US Hilton properties are rarely challenged."

"Ford Motor Company's Hilton corporate code is rated "Sometimes" for ID verification on HotelCorporateCodes.com. Ford's HQ in Dearborn means Detroit-area Hilton properties are more likely to verify than properties in other markets. No specific verification incidents documented in public forums outside the Detroit area. General Hilton verification rate applies: approximately 20% chance of being asked for proof, higher at Conrad/Waldorf properties."

"Berkshire Hathaway's Hilton code N0437015 is a holding company code. Berkshire Hathaway itself has very few direct employees (fewer than 30 at HQ) — most employees work for subsidiaries (Geico, BNSF, etc.) that have their own corporate codes. No FlyerTalk thread documents BRK Hilton verification incidents. The holding company code is rarely used since most Berkshire subsidiaries maintain separate travel programs. Minimal enforcement expected."
