"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."

"I have a client that requires me to use their rate when traveling on their dime. I've never been asked to provide ID — I can simply say I'm a contractor."
