"Not a code per se, but I've booked the Intercontinental Grand Stanford in Hong Kong and the Intercontinental Tokyo Strings recently using the Government rate. Both places wanted to see my govt ID."

"FedEx has multiple IHG codes covering different business units (FedEx Ground, FedEx Freight, FedEx Supply Chain). FlyerTalk's dedicated FedEx hotel rate thread notes: "FedEx reportedly monitors hotel usage volume — inflated usage could affect their contract negotiations." IHG enforcement follows brand-tier pattern: InterContinental/Kimpton properties may request ID; Holiday Inn Express essentially never checks. FedEx employee IDs are standard-issue company badges and well-recognized. One user warned of being charged rack rate after failing to produce credentials at a Crowne Plaza."

"The only legitimate reason the hotel needs is that the company is giving permission, for whatever reason, for that individual to stay on the corporate rate. Since my uncle is THE guy to ask permission from, I see that to be a perfectly legitimate reason, and the paperwork (that so far has never actually been produced) would not be fake."
