"Oracle's IHG code appears in FlyerTalk's "List of IHG Rate Codes" thread. A FlyerTalk moderator explicitly cautioned: "Unless you're employed by one of those companies, I would avoid using these codes at all. They do often ask for ID." IHG enforcement is tier-dependent: InterContinental and Kimpton properties enforce eligibility most strictly while Holiday Inn Express shows minimal enforcement. One FlyerTalk user documented IHG refusing to honor a rate without ID and offering to cancel the reservation after the cancellation deadline."

"Enforcement is highly fragmented across brand tiers. At Holiday Inn / Holiday Inn Express: minimal enforcement. At InterContinental and Kimpton: almost always verify. One user stated: "Airport Holiday Inns rarely check credentials, while InterContinentals in major cities almost always do." Properties near Seattle headquarters offer deeper discounts but face stricter verification."

"FedEx Supply Chain Services (100172336) and FedEx Trade Networks (970001266) are IHG codes for FedEx supply chain and trade services divisions. The same FedEx IHG enforcement pattern applies: tier-dependent verification at IHG properties. FedEx Supply Chain has major facilities in Memphis, Pittsburgh, and across the US Southeast — IHG Holiday Inn properties near those facilities are familiar with FedEx employee badges. FedEx Trade Networks focuses on international freight logistics; international IHG InterContinental properties carry higher verification risk."
