"Legg Mason's Marriott code LGM is a financial services code. Legg Mason was acquired by Franklin Templeton in 2020, meaning Legg Mason-branded employee credentials may no longer exist — similar to EDS/HP. Baltimore-based operations (where Legg Mason was headquartered) mean nearby Marriott properties may still have residual familiarity with the account. Finance-sector Medium calibration applies. The post-acquisition brand change adds uncertainty for hotels attempting to verify affiliation."

"I have been asked to show some proof couple of times. I normally show my corp id but credit card with employers name on it has worked, too. As would probably just showing my laptop with employer e-mail account or whatever. My impression has been they are happy with just about anything that proves I'm working for the company whose rate I use and why wouldn't they."

"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 !!"
