"Citigroup's Marriott code CIT is one of the most widely circulated financial sector codes. FlyerTalk users report: "Citigroup code has been posted on public sites for 10+ years — it's one of the most-shared codes in the community." hotelcorporatecodes.com lists CIT with "⚠️ Sometimes" verification. NYC-area full-service Marriotts (near Citigroup HQ in Tribeca/Park Avenue) are more likely to verify. US domestic outside NYC: 5-15% check rate. Europe/Asia: meaningfully higher. Business card typically resolves verification requests."

"I used to work night audit at a 4 diamond Marriott resort. It was me, an 80 year old valet who just slept in the cars, and a 4'11" security guard. She wouldn't check anything out because "I'm a woman. If there's someone there, they could attack me." So I, the 19 year old woman, would investigate. Guest needed towels? I brought them. I would have to go up to a computer room to run some of my reports. I occasionally had to pee, because I'm selfish like that. So whenever I was gone from the front desk, it was just unstaffed. It sucked."

"I mean, it depends on the size of the hotel. Having one person on night shift for a Fairfield isn’t uncommon. The better hotels have more people working at front desk even at night simply due to the size and brand. I’d however say though, if the property has been notified of the guest’s check in time in advance, and part of deal of getting into night shift is to check people in at unusual hours like that, then it certainly does not sound right to me that the front desk agent cannot have the meal earlier or later out of that many hours of the shift."
