"No specific FlyerTalk or Reddit threads document AIG code verification incidents. The code follows Marriott's general corporate rate policy. AIG is a large but relatively low-profile financial services firm; its ticker-style code is widely circulated but US properties rarely enforce. International properties (especially Asia and Europe) are more likely to ask. No documented denied-rate cases found specifically for AIG."

"Bank One's Marriott code BOB may still exist in Marriott's GDS system following the 2004 acquisition by JPMorgan Chase. JPMorgan has a separate Marriott code (JPM). Legacy acquired-company codes are practically never verified as the hotel has no way to confirm employer identity for a company that no longer exists independently. Risk for legacy codes is negligible."
