"DLA (Delta Air Lines) is listed at hotelcorporatecodes.com with verification "⚠️ Sometimes" and 10-15% discount, North America scope. No dedicated FlyerTalk thread on Delta/DLA ID enforcement was found. General pattern for airline employee codes at Marriott: medium risk, primarily because airline employee IDs are easy to request (physical company badge) and airline employees are frequent Marriott guests, making front desk staff more practiced at requesting verification. Properties near major Delta hubs (ATL, JFK, LAX, MSP, DTW) have higher awareness. Select-service and suburban properties: rarely checked. Full-service urban flagship properties: occasional."

"I don't do mobile check-in if I'm wanting to upgrade. I check the app before I go in to see if any suites are available to book during the duration of my stay. If there is I just say "Would it be possible to get upgraded to an available suite with my platinum benefit?". Of course this is typically at the hotel that I stay in about once a month for 3 day at a time for work. The front desk pretty much knows me and know that I am fairly low maintenance."

"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."
