"Pfizer holds two Marriott corporate codes (4899 and PFZ), reflecting the company's size and travel volume. FlyerTalk's Marriott ID thread notes: "In the US and Canada, never asked to show a work badge. Overseas — they tend to follow the rule by the book." One key risk factor: Pfizer's dual-code structure suggests a formally managed travel program. Corporate contracts sometimes include provision for hotels to share guest lists with the company — unauthorized users could be flagged to Pfizer's travel desk."

"I mean, when I worked night audit, the whole night is practically a break after like 1am. It was usually just me and one other guy running the place (the other guy is just cleaning and doesn’t know how to do front desk). We don’t get an actual “lunch break” where we have to clock out for 30 minutes because we can’t leave the desk completely unoccupied (unless you were going to the bathroom or tension to a guest away from the desk or something). And we just ate at our desks if we were hungry, not sitting in the back."

"I work front desk and it seems like management is really pushing to check IDs for any special rate. Personally im lazy and also don’t care that much to start a confrontation so I only verify govt rates and employee rates, but yes it is being enforced more harshly. Corporate rates I guess are easy to find online and thus abused. Again, I don’t care that much because they’re still pricey anyway !!"
