"Oracle (alt) code 77377 at Marriott represents a secondary Oracle code — but Oracle's primary Marriott code (ORA) is GDS-only and cannot be used for direct consumer booking, per multiple FlyerTalk threads. "Oracle even owns a Marriott property" and this relationship means Oracle rates are monitored closely. Any Oracle code being used for a non-employee direct booking is essentially unauthorized. Multiple FlyerTalk users have documented: "Oracle codes trigger a rate audit at luxury/full-service properties." High risk rating reflects Oracle's corporate travel policy enforcement."

"Corporate code - never once and we’re in the 200+ night a year arena. Gov discount / AAA- always be prepared to show ID Edit: reading comments and I recalled the Ritz in Singapore asked - but we had a corporate package to receive.

"I work for a large defense contractor. We are specifically told not to bring our badges on international trips due to various concerns about showing our affiliation around foreign national and had a nasty surprise at a JW Marriott insisting that without my badge they were going to raise my rate from $200gbp to $800gbp per night. That was a pretty stressful situation. You’d think they could have validated that the hotel was booked through my corporate partner."
