"PAG (Procter & Gamble) appears on multiple Marriott code lists with notes that it "works well in Asia" and has "unprecedented coverage in the Ohio River Valley / Cincinnati." hotelcorporatecodes.com lists PAG at 10-16% discount, "⚠️ Sometimes" verification, Global scope. One long-time FlyerTalk member with 1,500+ Starwood/Marriott nights stated: "I have NEVER been asked to produce a company ID." But geographic exceptions apply — Asia checks more reliably, and Cincinnati-area properties near P&G HQ apply it professionally. Risk calibrated at Medium consistent with comparable global consumer-goods corporate codes."

"I think the generic 'show corp id' designation means show the company business card. I think a lot of us don't have them or, if we do & we're not going to an office that we'd need to show them, leave them at home. I worked for some F500s that didn't require corp ids with shiny smiling faces on them & others that did; same with company credit cards. All, however, provided biz cards when working for them."

"I have a close friend who is a GM at a Marriott property in a fairly large US city (top 25 metro population). Their opinion is basically, "Hey, it's business. I'm not turning away a paying guest if they don't have the right ID." In this person's younger days as a front desk agent, they enjoyed catching people trying to use a corporate rate that the guest was not entitled to. As they became higher up and saw the books, occupancy rates, etc... Corp ID's became far less important than filling rooms."
