"GEE is rated "Rarely" for ID verification by HotelCorporateCodes.com, one of the lower-risk Marriott corporate codes. However, a notable FlyerTalk warning exists: "Companies like GE don't push their employees to use their corporate rate for leisure and FIRE them if they do." While hotel-side verification risk is low, GE reportedly monitors usage and has disciplined employees for personal travel misuse. GE's corporate policy appears stricter than hotel enforcement."

"I have been a Platinum for a few years (which implies I frequent Marriott properties on a regular basis) and up until tonight was NEVER asked for any id to justify a corporate rate or discount (I legitimately use a few corporate rates I am entitled to and AAA rates)"

"I think the last time I was asked for proof was in a JW Marriott in Beijing. I have never been asked in the US or Europe. Without a business card or ID, you may have an issue. Maybe you can contact the hotels in advance to see what info they need. I don’t remember if LinkedIn is available in China so I would talk to your Corp Travel team to see what they can do. Good news is that hotels are so much cheaper in China compared to ROW right now. ."
