"Qualcomm's Marriott code QUA is listed on AeroPenguin's Marriott code compilation. Qualcomm HQ in San Diego means properties there encounter genuine Qualcomm employees regularly. FlyerTalk's general Marriott tech-code enforcement: "Hotels within 5 miles of tech company HQ are significantly more likely to verify." Qualcomm has a smaller footprint than Intel or Cisco — less nationally recognized — so verification is primarily concentrated near San Diego. No specific QUA denial incident documented in public forums."
