"Daimler Benz's Hyatt code (99800) is for the Mercedes-Benz parent company. Daimler has major presence in Stuttgart, Germany and significant US operations in Alabama (Mercedes-Benz US Manufacturing). Hyatt's European enforcement pattern applies: Park Hyatt Frankfurt/Munich/Stuttgart carry higher verification risk. FlyerTalk's Hyatt thread: "In Europe and some parts of Asia, proof has been requested 100% of the time." US domestic Hyatt Place: essentially never checked. Daimler later restructured as Mercedes-Benz Group AG."

"I mean, you can book the rate, but 100% PH Tokyo requires proof of employment. I had to email from corp domain and provide a business card (Dec 2022). If you show up and can't provide proof of employment, either you'll be paying a very expensive full price for your stay, or they'll invalidate your reservation."

"I was asking who was eligible to use OUR corporate discount when the GM volunteered this information. Management is way more visible at the (rather small) PHT than at larger Hyatts. I know I'm highly likely to run into the GM or his chief assistant during every stay, especially since I'm usually there for at least a week. Hence, I often hang on to my non-urgent questions until I see them. Might as well hear it from the source!"
