"Consulting firms like Kearney sit in the same tier as Deloitte and Accenture — one Fishbowl Lifetime Titanium member (1,500+ nights) estimated corporate code ID checks at roughly 0.5–1% of US check-ins. A three-letter ticker-style code like ATK has moderate forum circulation, keeping it in the standard Medium tier. In Europe and Asia verification is requested close to 100% of the time; in the US it is almost never enforced outside luxury full-service properties."

"I work for the front desk, at a Marriott, & have for the last 8 years .... So when it comes to room upgrades; it goes based on AVAILABILITY... sometimes no matter the tier, if we have it available - I will upgrade the guest. Now of course, higher tiered members get dibs on the upgrades first but after we go through the higher tiered members, Ambassador, Titanium, Platinum - then we go through the other ones. I cannot express this enough : BEING NICE & POLITE AT THE DESK GOES A LONG WA"

"I always see people saying that they aren’t able to do mobile check in. I’ve only stayed at two Marriott hotels where I tried to do mobile check in ( both of them never been to before) and they both let me without having to go to the front desk which I was really happy about because I had lost my ID and didn’t know how I was going to check in. Also I think I only had about 20 nights at the time, I usually stay with my boyfriend because he’s titanium."
