"Hyatt verification patterns from the mega-thread: "Just checked-in using corp rate at the Andaz Tokyo. Front desk asked for badge, business card and email." Park Hyatt Sydney actively liaises "directly with my companies travel desk to verify employees." However, Hyatt Place and Hyatt House rarely verify — one poster noted using corporate codes "dozens of times at Hyatt Place, asked once." Code 13365 appears in community lists alongside similar tech-tier codes; medium-discount tech codes at Hyatt Regency/Grand Hyatt get spot-checked, particularly at Asia-Pacific properties and high-value urban Park Hyatts."

"I can understand wanting to maintain rate integrity, however, I find this to be a bit over the top. While I don't know the particulars of this rate, Louis Vuitton is a global company with employees presumably all over the world. How the hotel would have the resources to verify every employee seems a bit far fetched, especially with huge companies like IBM. Also, does this rate extend to all employees of Louis Vuitton or just traveling executives? I cannot imagine that they would be able to verify that Sally Sue (who likely does not even have a corporate ID) working at the South Park Mall store in Charlotte, NC is indeed an employee."

"I can inform you that if someone checks into the Park Hyatt Sydney on a discounted corporate code, and I try to book a revenue stay, my rate will be higher than had they not used the code in order to stabilise the average room rate. This will occur at all Hyatt properties that operate with a floating rate of the day based on availability. So it does indeed affect you."
