"Honda 100371240 is confirmed in the FlyerTalk IHG rate codes thread, where a moderator immediately responded: "Unless you're employed by one of those companies, I would avoid using these codes at all. They do often ask for ID." Honda employees travel heavily to IHG properties near manufacturing hubs (Ohio, Indiana, Alabama) which are predominantly Holiday Inn / Crowne Plaza tier — mid-range enforcement. The 9-digit code format is consistent with large-account codes that IHG's system flags for verification."

"I had the same experience with the IBM corporate rate. When I went to IBM sites to install machines they always said stay at one of these hotels and tell them you need the IBM rate. Always worked and saved a lot of money and I always got full credit with the hotels frequent stay program."

"FedEx's main IHG code (109207) is documented in the FlyerTalk IHG Rate Codes master thread. The IHG enforcement pattern for FedEx: "Airport Holiday Inns rarely check credentials; InterContinentals in major cities almost always do." FedEx monitors hotel usage volume with IHG — anomalous usage in one business unit could trigger company-side audit. One FlyerTalk user documented IHG refusing to honor a rate without ID and offering to cancel after the cancellation deadline. FedEx employee IDs are physical company badges recognizable to hotel staff."
