"Honda 34235 is confirmed on multiple Hyatt code aggregators. FlyerTalk user Colin documented: "US & MX hotels never check, in my experience" but "Asia hotels generally, China in particular, check frequently." Honda has major operations in both the US (where risk is low) and Japan/Asia (where Park Hyatt and Grand Hyatt properties enforce strictly). One Andaz Tokyo guest confirmed: "Front desk asked for badge, business card and email." Globally averaged: Medium."

"I agree with that, but I do think that Hyatt would garner a solid amount of business by offering a FT discount code. If Hyatt did this they would get some very good press here on FT and to my knowledge be the first large hotel/airline to offer such a discount to us. If the discount was decent enough...something greater than AAA discount, they would probably steal some biz from the competition. I belong to other forums where corporations do offer forum members a unique discount. Of course in the matter of minutes that code would be plastered all over fatwallet and slickdeals and no longer be unique."

"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."
