"Dell's IHG code (954284898) is listed in the FlyerTalk IHG Rate Codes master thread but community members have noted: "the codes are generally not giving any significant discount — maybe 6 to 10% at the most. In some cases, the corporate rate essentially just gives you a refundable rate at the same price as the non-refundable rate." Low discount spread means low enforcement motivation. The practical consensus is that a sub-10% discount at Holiday Inn / Crowne Plaza tier rarely triggers ID requests. Risk rises at InterContinental properties, but overall Dell's IHG code is among the lower-risk corporate codes given the minimal discount depth."

"I work for BofA and the internal discounts website didn't list codes, instead directing employees to contact individual properties. I later confirmed the code is 109568. Unless you're employed by one of those companies, I would avoid using these codes. They do often ask for ID at InterContinental properties, though Holiday Inn locations rarely enforce."

"I stay primarily at IHG hotels and they never ask for proof that I'm associated with the corporate code I use."
