"Hyatt verification patterns from the mega-thread: "Just checked-in using corp rate at the Andaz Tokyo. Front desk asked for badge, business card and email." Park Hyatt Sydney actively liaises "directly with my companies travel desk to verify employees." However, Hyatt Place and Hyatt House rarely verify — one poster noted using corporate codes "dozens of times at Hyatt Place, asked once." Code 13365 appears in community lists alongside similar tech-tier codes; medium-discount tech codes at Hyatt Regency/Grand Hyatt get spot-checked, particularly at Asia-Pacific properties and high-value urban Park Hyatts."

"We are pleased to note you have a future reservation on xxxxxx, 2010 made through hyatt.com. I do kindly ask that you bring your valid working ID in order for us to be able to confirm the corporate rate at time of check-in which will be cross referenced with the company. Unfortunately of late we have been experiencing misuse of some of our corporate rates, with your company a target and we have had to implement tighter controls in this regard."

"I can understand wanting to maintain rate integrity, however, I find this to be a bit over the top. While I don't know the particulars of this rate, Louis Vuitton is a global company with employees presumably all over the world. How the hotel would have the resources to verify every employee seems a bit far fetched, especially with huge companies like IBM. Also, does this rate extend to all employees of Louis Vuitton or just traveling executives? I cannot imagine that they would be able to verify that Sally Sue (who likely does not even have a corporate ID) working at the South Park Mall store in Charlotte, NC is indeed an employee."
