"GE (alt) Marriott code 9360 is a secondary General Electric Marriott code. GE's primary Marriott code pattern is Medium risk — FlyerTalk documented GE as one of the companies that monitors internal employee use of hotel corporate codes, with documented terminations for leisure misuse. Marriott properties in GE-heavy markets (Cincinnati, Boston, NYC) are familiar with GE employee IDs. No specific 9360 denial incident found; risk pattern mirrors the primary GE code."

"My employer does not have a corporate rate but when I'm consulting for a company that does, I use theirs. I've only been challenged for identification once.

"I swear the front desk employees are trained to resist and encouraged to lie. They try to save the rooms for members with higher status or complainers.

But once transferred to a manager, King rooms magically appear!"
