"hotelcorporatecodes.com lists MCD (McDonald's) explicitly with verification status "✅ Rarely" — the lowest verification designation. Regional scope is North America. McDonald's corporate travel tends to concentrate in suburban/airport corridors near Oak Brook IL HQ and regional offices — property types (Courtyard, Residence Inn, Marriott) in these corridors have the lowest enforcement rates on FlyerTalk. No specific FlyerTalk thread found discussing MCD code challenges. The "Rarely" rating aligns with the general pattern that non-financial, non-consulting consumer-brand codes at non-luxury US properties face minimal scrutiny."

"I work for a company that is partially owned by a Fortune 100 company and we have their corporate rate code linked to our travel website, (although it is one of the ones that is very easy to figure out). In 4+ years I've never been asked for any ID, although a few times a year I get the question of "what company are you with?""

"I've never been asked, but last night I stayed at a SHS I had only stayed at once before and the clerk casually asked "what company are you with" and she was writing out my card. I suspect she was comparing to the rate plan I used for the reservation."
