"PwC's Marriott code PCW is in the same tier as Deloitte (DTC), EY (EYC), and Accenture (ACC) — all Big 4 / consulting codes with documented community discussion. Fishbowl posts from consulting professionals: "How do you get around the ID check for consulting codes at Marriott?" — confirming awareness. PwC has the most heterogeneous employee base of the Big 4 (audit, advisory, tax, legal) making ID matching harder. hotelcorporatecodes.com: "⚠️ Sometimes" for PCW. US select-service: essentially no enforcement. US full-service: 10-20%. International: significantly higher."

"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 used to work night audit at a 4 diamond Marriott resort. It was me, an 80 year old valet who just slept in the cars, and a 4'11" security guard. She wouldn't check anything out because "I'm a woman. If there's someone there, they could attack me." So I, the 19 year old woman, would investigate. Guest needed towels? I brought them. I would have to go up to a computer room to run some of my reports. I occasionally had to pee, because I'm selfish like that. So whenever I was gone from the front desk, it was just unstaffed. It sucked."
