"GE International Hyatt code (13307) follows Hyatt's standard verification pattern for major industrial codes. FlyerTalk documents Hyatt as "notorious for checking ID, especially at Park Hyatt." GE International implies non-US travel, concentrated in Asia/Europe where Hyatt verification is highest. Park Hyatt and Grand Hyatt in global business centers regularly encounter GE employees and know what GE badges look like. Hyatt Place and House: essentially never check."

"I agree with that, but I do think that Hyatt would garner a solid amount of business by offering a FT discount code. If Hyatt did this they would get some very good press here on FT and to my knowledge be the first large hotel/airline to offer such a discount to us. If the discount was decent enough...something greater than AAA discount, they would probably steal some biz from the competition. I belong to other forums where corporations do offer forum members a unique discount. Of course in the matter of minutes that code would be plastered all over fatwallet and slickdeals and no longer be unique."

"Just wanted to let you know that I tried using this code at Hyatt Regency Istanbul, and the guy asked me for ID. I explained that I was a contractor, but he wouldn't buy it and requested further verification. I told him to just charge me the regular rate, and I would get reimbursed. It was only a 25 euro difference per day."
