Secondary GE codes circulate less widely than the primary code, potentially reducing audit flag probability at some properties."

"I know that previously the Hertz IBM rate was always fixed in the mid $30s for a full size vehicle with last car availability. A minivan was $175/week in Orlando even during President's week when the going rate was about $1,200. This is probably why Hertz and at least Avis has been more strict. I have found Marriott to be very strict, especially at key locations, when it comes to the government rate. Marriott wants travel orders, a government ID, and/or a government credit card. I found Hilton to be less strict for those government rates."
