"Thank you for sharing! Random question - I got free night rewards for signing up for a credit card. I struggled to find a place I wanted to go where the rewards were eligible and ended up just settling for a few nights in San Francisco in Union Square. Since I used rewards, will I automatically get the worst room available at check-in?"

"In the US, verification is rarely asked for, but in Asia and Europe, corporate ID has been asked for every single time. Consultants tried to use codes and were required to produce valid company ID at check-in."

"I think the generic 'show corp id' designation means show the company business card. I think a lot of us don't have them or, if we do & we're not going to an office that we'd need to show them, leave them at home. I worked for some F500s that didn't require corp ids with shiny smiling faces on them & others that did; same with company credit cards. All, however, provided biz cards when working for them."
