"hotelcorporatecodes.com lists Target N4083735 in the "Sometimes" verification tier. Target is one of the most-searched Hilton corporate codes online (high sharing volume), which correlates with higher hotel-side suspicion. FlyerTalk user noted: "If it is a reservation through the hotel's channels using just a typed-in code, then I'd think they would have reason to be more strict in seeking proof of affiliation" — codes widely shared publicly trigger more scrutiny than codes booked through corporate travel systems."

"I spent 5 bucks and printed a business card and ID for the code I use the most."

"So - to the point - how do I verify my entitlement to this rate? The concept of showing a 'Government ID' is frankly outdated in the UK - aside from the NHS, I don't imagine there are many (any?) government departments (aside perhaps from the military) that have a great big logo/badge advertising that you are infact working with the Government - this is in itself a significant security risk."
