"Oracle's IHG code appears in FlyerTalk's "List of IHG Rate Codes" thread. A FlyerTalk moderator explicitly cautioned: "Unless you're employed by one of those companies, I would avoid using these codes at all. They do often ask for ID." IHG enforcement is tier-dependent: InterContinental and Kimpton properties enforce eligibility most strictly while Holiday Inn Express shows minimal enforcement. One FlyerTalk user documented IHG refusing to honor a rate without ID and offering to cancel the reservation after the cancellation deadline."

"This Deloitte code circulates widely among current and former staff. IHG auditing materials note that large firms like Deloitte and IBM have codes hard-coded into IHG's auditing software to trigger a request for ID.
