"McKesson's Hilton code N9890367 is for the pharmaceutical distribution giant. McKesson HQ is in Irving TX (relocated from San Francisco). Healthcare sector codes at Hilton carry moderate enforcement risk — similar to pharma company codes. Hilton's London thread documented systematic enforcement for corporate codes; McKesson has UK operations. US domestic Hilton: 20% general verification rate. No McKesson-specific denial documented at Hilton, but corporate contracts with major pharma distributors are closely monitored."

"I know that previously the Hertz IBM rate was always fixed in the mid $30s for a full size vehicle with last car availability. A minivan was $175/week in Orlando even during President's week when the going rate was about $1,200. This is probably why Hertz and at least Avis has been more strict. I have found Marriott to be very strict, especially at key locations, when it comes to the government rate. Marriott wants travel orders, a government ID, and/or a government credit card. I found Hilton to be less strict for those government rates."

"I have used heavily discounted corporate rates for many years all over London, and have not yet been asked for ID. If I was, all I could do would be to send an email from my work account which at least is clearly from the associated company."
