"hotelcorporatecodes.com lists Home Depot N0794705 as "Sometimes" for ID check frequency. The site states: "ID verification may occur occasionally — it's not a guaranteed requirement for every booking, but the inconsistent verification pattern appears across many other Hilton corporate codes." Home Depot is a very large employer whose code circulates widely online, increasing the chance that a hotel with higher-than-average fraud awareness will verify it."

"I've experienced this at the Doubletree Airport TPA. I probably caused it as I spent 100 nights there on our company rate Our corp rate at that location is fantastic. A friend of mine was at Hertz recently and they were checking corporate identification. It may be hit or miss, but I now expect to show my company or government badge. I keep them in my backpack in the first pocket so I can quickly give them to the CSR."

"I completely understand that IDs aren't a big thing. I straddle both private and public and have ID from both sides. I have also held an ID card from two global banks and sure enough the bank name is not on the ID. I always wondered why, so thank you for explaining that."
