"hotelcorporatecodes.com lists Home Depot N0794705 as "Sometimes" for ID check frequency. The site states: "ID verification may occur occasionally — it's not a guaranteed requirement for every booking, but the inconsistent verification pattern appears across many other Hilton corporate codes." Home Depot is a very large employer whose code circulates widely online, increasing the chance that a hotel with higher-than-average fraud awareness will verify it."

"Thanks for the prompt response. It's odd - the difference in the rate I booked and the next cheapest Hhonors rate was only £20! It just doesn't seem worth the effort of protecting even if I had, somehow acquired the code when I shouldn't have. Do please report back on your stay - will be interesting to note if you are also asked for some ID."

"but there is a specific Hilton.com URL we use for reservations (which is accessible not just from our corporate network) - booked a rate for tomorrow night for around 50% of what the cheapest Honors rate was - I have not had any communication from the hotel requesting proof of eligibility. ."
