"The Allstate corporate code ALL is in Marriott's system with no widely documented community verification incidents. General Marriott analysis notes: "Select-service properties like Fairfield Inn, SpringHill Suites, and Courtyard tend to only verify IDs during high-occupancy events like local conventions." Allstate is an insurance company with significant employee travel volume, making the code less unusual to hotel staff in the Midwest where Allstate is headquartered."

"I work for the front desk, at a Marriott, & have for the last 8 years .... So when it comes to room upgrades; it goes based on AVAILABILITY... sometimes no matter the tier, if we have it available - I will upgrade the guest. Now of course, higher tiered members get dibs on the upgrades first but after we go through the higher tiered members, Ambassador, Titanium, Platinum - then we go through the other ones. I cannot express this enough : BEING NICE & POLITE AT THE DESK GOES A LONG WA"

"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 !!"
