"A Fishbowl user warned about Amway-style codes: "No, because you don't want to risk them asking for employee ID and then charge you full price." Amway's business model involves distributors/IBOs (Independent Business Owners) who are technically not employees. This creates structural ambiguity: even legitimate Amway-affiliated users may struggle to produce a traditional employee ID at check-in."

"I regularly stay at a renaissance once a month on our DTC rate and have done mobile check in but always end up at front desk. One time the front desk was like oh. We know you as you have been coming regularly, but I need to double check your id. I think it’s because someone shared it online and now it causes random checks for rest of us."

"I think the generic 'show corp id' designation means show the company business card. I think a lot of us don't have them or, if we do & we're not going to an office that we'd need to show them, leave them at home. I worked for some F500s that didn't require corp ids with shiny smiling faces on them & others that did; same with company credit cards. All, however, provided biz cards when working for them."
