"I can say, with absolute certainty, I've never been asked for a Corporate ID: only a business card. Despite working for a company towards the top of the F50 list, I am a remote employee. Remote employees are not given IDs in our company. When I do have to go to the office, I need to get a guest ID."

"It’s about 80/20 for me. 80% of the time I still have to go to the front desk. I’ve asked the front desk folks, and they always say “our property has a policy to not allow mobile check-in”… I guess Marriott allows this at the property’s discretion. One property said they don’t want the guest to get stuck with full charges if they end up having travel issues and mobile checked-in the day before."

"Deutsche Bahn's Marriott code 11353 is a German railway operator code in the global GDS system. Outside Germany, this code is essentially unknown to hotel front desk staff. German Marriott properties near Deutsche Bahn offices may be more familiar, but the code is rarely discussed in English-language travel forums. No verification incidents found. European public transit company codes attract minimal scrutiny."
