"hotelcorporatecodes.com lists Home Depot N0794705 as "Sometimes" for ID check frequency. The site states: "ID verification may occur occasionally — it's not a guaranteed requirement for every booking, but the inconsistent verification pattern appears across many other Hilton corporate codes." Home Depot is a very large employer whose code circulates widely online, increasing the chance that a hotel with higher-than-average fraud awareness will verify it."

"Hilton and Marriott Japan actually do check to ensure you qualify for any special rates. They also scan your passport too just FYI. It's not the wild west out here. Be prepared to prove you are eligible for the code or have the rate switched if you can't. Hope you got a business card from your company."

"I don't know what will happen if these hotels, car rental companies, or other providers start asking for corporate identification. It seems problematic. Hopefully it will be that only a few locations, of a few brands, are demanding identification and for a specific reason."
