"DLA (Delta Air Lines) is listed at hotelcorporatecodes.com with verification "⚠️ Sometimes" and 10-15% discount, North America scope. No dedicated FlyerTalk thread on Delta/DLA ID enforcement was found. General pattern for airline employee codes at Marriott: medium risk, primarily because airline employee IDs are easy to request (physical company badge) and airline employees are frequent Marriott guests, making front desk staff more practiced at requesting verification. Properties near major Delta hubs (ATL, JFK, LAX, MSP, DTW) have higher awareness. Select-service and suburban properties: rarely checked. Full-service urban flagship properties: occasional."

"I occasionally try to get the corporate rate for a company I'm visiting in the area (for sales/consulting). Only once has a front desk clerk asked me to prove my eligibility, and she was satisfied by me giving the name and telephone number of the person I was visiting."

"I now always make it a matter of course to carry documents (business cards of my contacts, e-mails requesting my visit etc.) from my host company when I travel. This has always proven sufficient for the few times I've been challenged by the front desk clerk."
