"McKesson's Hilton code N9890367 is for the pharmaceutical distribution giant. McKesson HQ is in Irving TX (relocated from San Francisco). Healthcare sector codes at Hilton carry moderate enforcement risk — similar to pharma company codes. Hilton's London thread documented systematic enforcement for corporate codes; McKesson has UK operations. US domestic Hilton: 20% general verification rate. No McKesson-specific denial documented at Hilton, but corporate contracts with major pharma distributors are closely monitored."

"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 don't know what will happen if these hotels, car rental companies, or other providers start asking for corporate identification. It seems problematic. Hopefully it will be that only a few locations, of a few brands, are demanding identification and for a specific reason."
