"FedEx has multiple IHG codes covering different business units (FedEx Ground, FedEx Freight, FedEx Supply Chain). FlyerTalk's dedicated FedEx hotel rate thread notes: "FedEx reportedly monitors hotel usage volume — inflated usage could affect their contract negotiations." IHG enforcement follows brand-tier pattern: InterContinental/Kimpton properties may request ID; Holiday Inn Express essentially never checks. FedEx employee IDs are standard-issue company badges and well-recognized. One user warned of being charged rack rate after failing to produce credentials at a Crowne Plaza."

"I highly doubt I'm the only one with a corporate hotshot relative who allows family to use the codes."

"Bayer 251321 is confirmed as an IHG corporate code. IHG enforcement is highly brand-dependent: milepro.com states "At InterContinental or Kimpton, you'll almost certainly need to show proof of eligibility" while "Holiday Inn Express properties rarely check." Bayer's heavy presence at InterContinental properties in European pharma hubs (Frankfurt, Basel, London) means real-world usage skews toward high-enforcement properties. FlyerTalk on IHG code verification: "They do often ask for ID. YMMV." Rated Medium because enforcement is brand-split."
