"hotelcorporatecodes.com lists Home Depot N0794705 as "Sometimes" for ID check frequency. The site states: "ID verification may occur occasionally — it's not a guaranteed requirement for every booking, but the inconsistent verification pattern appears across many other Hilton corporate codes." Home Depot is a very large employer whose code circulates widely online, increasing the chance that a hotel with higher-than-average fraud awareness will verify it."

"I've experienced this at the Doubletree Airport TPA. I probably caused it as I spent 100 nights there on our company rate Our corp rate at that location is fantastic. A friend of mine was at Hertz recently and they were checking corporate identification. It may be hit or miss, but I now expect to show my company or government badge. I keep them in my backpack in the first pocket so I can quickly give them to the CSR."

"One thing I am curious about is whether the hotel CRM shows the booking channel. Most true corporate travel is booked through something like Concur, AMEX GBT, CWT, etc. If the agent sees the booking come through one of those channels with a person's name on it and then gets a card or photo ID (not corporate ID) from said person, it's a pretty low fraud risk. But if it is a reservation through the hotel's channels using just a typed-in code, then I'd think they would have reason to be more strict in seeking proof of affiliation."
