"Shell's Marriott code SHL appears in FlyerTalk corporate code compilations. Shell is a global energy giant with major US presence in Houston TX. Marriott properties near Houston Energy Corridor routinely handle Shell employees. No specific verification-denial cases were found. The energy sector code pattern tends to be less targeted than tech company codes in current enforcement discussions."

"I have been a Platinum for a few years (which implies I frequent Marriott properties on a regular basis) and up until tonight was NEVER asked for any id to justify a corporate rate or discount (I legitimately use a few corporate rates I am entitled to and AAA rates)"

"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."
