"hotelcorporatecodes.com places Fiat Chrysler (now Stellantis) in the "Sometimes" verification tier. A live booking test confirmed the code resolves to approximately 7% savings. The code's rebrand from FCA to Stellantis means two overlapping codes circulate publicly, slightly elevating hotel-side suspicion. FlyerTalk's general Hilton thread notes that automotive OEM corporate codes are moderately checked in Detroit-area properties where staff know the company well enough to ask."

"Thanks for the prompt response. It's odd - the difference in the rate I booked and the next cheapest Hhonors rate was only £20! It just doesn't seem worth the effort of protecting even if I had, somehow acquired the code when I shouldn't have. Do please report back on your stay - will be interesting to note if you are also asked for some ID."

"I've only ever been asked about it once and I basically said "Yes I work there" and there were no follow up questions. That was on a personal trip but booked through the portal Hilton set up that allows employees to book personal travel using the corporate rate."
