"PwC's corporate code is strongest in major financial hubs (NYC, London, Hong Kong) and carries a high verification risk. Users reported being asked for work ID, business card, or corporate email verification at check-in."

"When a corp rate is not available I often use a AAA rate. I am a paying AAA member and always have the card in my wallet. Hotels ask to see it about 20% of the time. I actually wish proof of membership were demanded more frequently as it is a benefit I am paying for via annual dues."

"I didn't say that it was a for sure thing where you wouldn't be asked for ID. I can't speak for every hotel as each hotel is independently owned and operated (thank the franchise model), but at our hotel, we do send prearrival emails to those who we suspect may have booked the rate program when they most likely do not work for that company. As I said, anyone can book that rate if they know the corporate code. People can even book our employee discount if they know the code. But it's up to the hotel to follow procedures at check-in to determine eligibility."
