"Facebook/Meta's Marriott code FSF is one of the more recently discussed tech giant codes. FlyerTalk tech-company code thread: "Meta's corporate rate delivers solid discounts in the Bay Area." Properties near Meta HQ in Menlo Park/Palo Alto are most likely to see genuine Meta employees and to verify. Meta's standard corporate ID is a photo badge with company logo — easily recognizable by hotel staff in Silicon Valley. Hotels farther from Meta's campus presence: minimal verification. Post-2022, Bay Area Marriott full-service properties (W Hotel SF, San Jose Marriott) have increased scrutiny of tech company codes."

"I occasionally try to get the corporate rate for a company I'm visiting in the area (for sales/consulting). Only once has a front desk clerk asked me to prove my eligibility, and she was satisfied by me giving the name and telephone number of the person I was visiting."

"I have a close friend who is a GM at a Marriott property in a fairly large US city (top 25 metro population). Their opinion is basically, "Hey, it's business. I'm not turning away a paying guest if they don't have the right ID." In this person's younger days as a front desk agent, they enjoyed catching people trying to use a corporate rate that the guest was not entitled to. As they became higher up and saw the books, occupancy rates, etc... Corp ID's became far less important than filling rooms."
