"US Government Hyatt rate (69333) follows the same mandatory verification requirement as all US government hotel rates. GSA policy requires federal employees to present valid government-issued photo ID at check-in for government rates. Hyatt's own policy documentation: "Government rate eligibility must be verified with a valid government ID at check-in at all Hyatt properties." Unlike corporate discount codes where enforcement varies by property, government rate verification is contractually required at all participating Hyatt properties."

"I had this actually happen to me when I used my company rate in China. I couldn't show them my company portal because our company's SSO didn't let us log in from China (or have work stuff on my personal phone), and I'm fully remote so I didn't have my badge. They asked me for my email and sent an email to make sure it didn't bounce back before checking me in."

"Yup, Asia is very strict; I don't think I've never not been asked for either a business card, an ID badge, or a corporate email to make sure that it doesn't bounce back. They often photocopy it or take a photo and send it to their manager and wait until they get an OK before they check me in. There have also been hotels that have emailed me ahead of time, saying that if I didn't provide ID via email, they would update my reservation to the rack rate. North America has been a bit more lax. The higher the discount, the higher the chances of being asked, in my experience."
