"IBM Taiwan's Hyatt code (52718) is specific to IBM's Taiwan operations. Hyatt Asia-Pacific properties enforce corporate code verification near 100% of the time per FlyerTalk community data. "Andaz Tokyo asked for badge, business card and email" — this pattern applies broadly across Asia-Pacific Park Hyatt and Grand Hyatt. IBM Taiwan is a major presence in Taipei business travel; Grand Hyatt Taipei has been documented requiring corporate ID. IBM's standardized physical badges are well-recognized."

"I use corporate codes all the time and never get asked. I shouldn’t be using them but, hey, it is what it is. The risk is you get that front desk agent (or even manager) who goes “I see your with the Coca-Cola rate, can I have your corporate Id please”? Has never happened to me yet but it is a risk. So book accordingly."

"We have a personal travel option in Concur and can also use the corporate travel agency for personal travel. Rates usually match between Concur and booking direct with the code but vary from time to time. The PH Sydney dates I looked at were $1,200 (BAR), $700 (corp code), $500 (Concur)."
