"IBM Taiwan's Hyatt code (52718) is specific to IBM's Taiwan operations. Hyatt Asia-Pacific properties enforce corporate code verification near 100% of the time per FlyerTalk community data. "Andaz Tokyo asked for badge, business card and email" — this pattern applies broadly across Asia-Pacific Park Hyatt and Grand Hyatt. IBM Taiwan is a major presence in Taipei business travel; Grand Hyatt Taipei has been documented requiring corporate ID. IBM's standardized physical badges are well-recognized."

"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."

"We just have to book under our corporate rate in Concur regardless of rate. Example in Columbus, OH our 2 preferred properties are Hilton downtown and Hilton Polaris those rooms can be $400+ a night. If I book at the Hyatt House at $199-$225 also part of our general corporate rate off BAR it will tell me I’m out of compliance for not booking our preferred hotels even though they are more. I override this all the time but that’s how it works."
