"Toyota's IHG code (954409548) follows the same low-enforcement pattern as Toyota's Marriott code (TOY), which is confirmed as 'Rarely' checked in FlyerTalk's master codes list. Toyota's IHG travel concentrates near manufacturing hubs (Georgetown KY, San Antonio TX, Princeton IN) at Holiday Inn Express and Crowne Plaza properties — property types with minimal verification infrastructure. No Toyota IHG verification incident documented."

"Ace Hardware's IHG code (100862437) is a retail cooperative corporate code. No FlyerTalk or Reddit discussion found specifically about Ace Hardware IHG verification. Retail sector codes at IHG Holiday Inn Express properties are essentially never verified. Ace Hardware is a dealer cooperative, not a traditional employer — verification of "Ace employee" status is inherently ambiguous. IHG enforcement is tier-based: InterContinental properties might ask; Holiday Inn Express properties rarely do."

"Code 150711 is confirmed in the FlyerTalk IHG rate code master list alongside Microsoft (100857558) and IBM (000243132). IHG enforcement: some franchises instruct staff to ask all guests; others only ask if discount is better than 15% of flex rate. IHG T&Cs explicitly list using corporate rates without entitlement as grounds to close IHG account. Holiday Inn Express: minimal enforcement; InterContinental/Kimpton: almost always verify."
