"Sony's Marriott codes (SON and 12698) appear in FlyerTalk's Marriott corporate code compilations. Sony has major US presence in New York (Sony Pictures, Sony Music, Sony Electronics) and several Marriott full-service properties near those offices. hotelcorporatecodes.com lists SON as "⚠️ Sometimes" with 10-15% discount. Japanese multinational codes tend to face higher scrutiny at international properties. No specific SON denial documented in FlyerTalk. Properties near Sony's Culver City (entertainment) and Park Ridge NJ (electronics) offices carry higher verification risk."

"We know what the various Deloitte, EY, PwC, Google, Meta, etc badges look like. If you work for the company, it’s not a problem to verify that you work there. We do this for the random people that say they work for Deloitte, when in reality, they just refill the vending machine at a Deloitte office."

"I always see people saying that they aren’t able to do mobile check in. I’ve only stayed at two Marriott hotels where I tried to do mobile check in ( both of them never been to before) and they both let me without having to go to the front desk which I was really happy about because I had lost my ID and didn’t know how I was going to check in. Also I think I only had about 20 nights at the time, I usually stay with my boyfriend because he’s titanium."
