"FedEx Trade Networks (970001266) is an IHG code for FedEx's international freight logistics division. The FedEx IHG enforcement pattern applies: IHG InterContinental properties verify; Holiday Inn Express essentially never does. FedEx Trade Networks focuses on cross-border logistics with a smaller employee headcount than FedEx Express or FedEx Ground. Properties near international freight hubs (Miami, Chicago O'Hare area, Seattle) may encounter FedEx Trade Networks employees and request verification."

"IHG corporate codes vary by brand. Airport Holiday Inns rarely check credentials, while InterContinentals in major cities almost always do. The likelihood of a request for ID is based on the size of the discount — the greater the discount, the more diligent the front desk. Be prepared to be asked for company ID if the discount rate is more than the standard 15% given to most corporates, or if the company rate is a fixed rate lower than the hotel's ADR. Cisco's IHG code (954410926) sits alongside IBM and Dell in the widely-circulated FlyerTalk master list; tech-company codes at this tier typically yield 10-25% savings and trigger occasional verification at full-service properties but rarely at Holiday Inn Express tier."

"I had the same experience with the IBM corporate rate. When I went to IBM sites to install machines they always said stay at one of these hotels and tell them you need the IBM rate. Always worked and saved a lot of money and I always got full credit with the hotels frequent stay program."
