"Hyatt verification patterns from the mega-thread: "Just checked-in using corp rate at the Andaz Tokyo. Front desk asked for badge, business card and email." Park Hyatt Sydney actively liaises "directly with my companies travel desk to verify employees." However, Hyatt Place and Hyatt House rarely verify — one poster noted using corporate codes "dozens of times at Hyatt Place, asked once." Code 13365 appears in community lists alongside similar tech-tier codes; medium-discount tech codes at Hyatt Regency/Grand Hyatt get spot-checked, particularly at Asia-Pacific properties and high-value urban Park Hyatts."

"We may have an issue of semantics regarding the travelzoo code. Often when Travelzoo has a special rate for a Hyatt Hotel that rate is also shown in the "Special Offers" section for the particular hotel on the Hyatt Website. The code for the comparable "Special Offer" is 13147 which is often referred to as the Travelzoo code. As this code is available on the website, it gets both stay credit and points. At least, this is my impression."

"I don’t really know how they truly enforce this. A lot of companies don’t even put the company name or brand on ID cards anymore due to security concerns (if you find a card on the ground it’s a lot harder to know where to use it). In 20 years of traveling for work I’ve only been asked for a form of ID one time, which was in Germany, and sending the front desk agent an email from my corporate email address took care of their concern."
