"Shell's Hilton code is confirmed in public Hilton code databases. Shell's London Centre is a major HQ, and UK Hilton properties have documented systematic ID verification since 2022. Singapore and other Asia-Pacific Hilton properties enforce verification near 100% of the time — Shell's major APAC presence makes this code higher risk internationally. Houston-area Hilton properties routinely encounter genuine Shell employees."

"I was asked for my work ID when checking in at Hilton Tokyo in June on a corp rate."

"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."
