"Applied Materials' code APP appears in Marriott corporate code lists but has minimal community discussion. A FlyerTalk comment notes that some codes "are old and may not be valid, and some may require ID of some sort," and that rates are "widely offered and hard to check ID" particularly when extended to company retirees. Applied Materials is a major Silicon Valley semiconductor equipment company; Bay Area hotel density reduces the novelty of tech company codes in that market."

"I work as a consultant and frequently ask for and use my client's rates (at their insistence, since I will be billing them back). I have been asked for ID maybe one time in 15 since February, when it was announced in this forum that rates would be ID'ed."

"I do security for a Marriott Hotel in Miami and when it comes to guests being disrespectful like cursing, and/or getting physical with employees or furniture, the front desk calls security. We get there and we gives two warnings. If they continue to curse or be any type of physical, we throw they ass out the hotel as an eviction. We dont play that shit here in Miami."
