"Also depends how the management company or if it’s a corporate company actually trains the front desk associate. For example, some agents are required to ask for your government ID to get the perdiem government rate which is usually heavily discounted if offered at the hotel. I’ve worked at various hotels each with varying policies. One hotel might have a front desk team that’s more trained to ask for ID’s or proof in order for you to get that rate. Deloitte, Accenture, Kaiser etc all have corporate negotiated rates that come with steep discounts and perks. For example Kaiser usually had a lower rate, discounted parking, lounge access etc. It’s not hard to obtain these corporate negotiated codes so that’s why some agents will ask you for proof that you work for said company. It’s not personal they are just doing what they are supposed to do."

"I had to change my email to my personal email account. My IT sucks, I have had so many joe.smith1 to joe.smith9 at my corporate name dot Com. Why I like to get my folio in person and on my email. Miss a receipt and your expense report gets rejected. Only been asked once for corporate proff, but I am nice to the staff and explain what's going on before they get a chance to ask. IT still has not figured out how to link everything to Concur for hotels. And it's a huge company"

"I work as a consultant and frequently ask for and use my client's rates (at their insistence, since I will be billing them back). I have been asked for ID maybe one time in 15 since February, when it was announced in this forum that rates would be ID'ed."
