"PepsiCo's Marriott code PEP is a consumer goods code. hotelcorporatecodes.com rates PEP as "✅ Rarely" for verification. PepsiCo's HQ is in Purchase NY (Westchester). Marriott properties there are familiar with PepsiCo employees, but consumer staples codes are among the least-scrutinized categories. No PEP-specific verification incident documented in FlyerTalk. The "Rarely" rating aligns with peer consumer goods codes like Coca-Cola (COK) and McDonald's (MCD)."

"FlyerTalk community specifically notes the MMM code as "the go-to code for the Minneapolis/St. Paul area, described as extremely reliable at local Courtyard and Residence Inn properties, with a low risk rating." One user documented using an IBM rate for 14 years at 80-100+ nights annually and "never once being asked for an ID." Another stayed 500+ nights and was never asked. The 3M code is regionally well-known near 3M's Minnesota HQ."

"I also use AAA if the corporate is not available. In 10+ years of using AAA I had never been asked to show the card until last month in FL at two different properties. One was a HGI in Palm Beach Gardens and the other a CY in Stuart. Stayed at both since on AAA rate and wasn't asked."
