"The AON Hyatt code delivers unusually deep discounts at certain European properties, notably Paris. Hyatt is known as more verification-active than Marriott: "Hyatt is notorious for checking for ID and being quite thorough." Park Hyatt properties explicitly state "Valid Company ID Required at Check-in." One verified traveler reported Park Hyatt Tokyo demanding proof or threatening rack rate conversion, taking 15 minutes of email-searching to satisfy. For AON specifically, no denied-rate incident was found, but Hyatt's general enforcement rate is estimated at 10-20% of stays."

"Just FYI, the Hyatt Regency Kiev does require Corporate ID upon check-in. My corporate rate is 220 EUR instead of 410 per night and they were quite insistent on getting the corporate ID. Good thing I had it with me."

"I would strongly advise the use of a corporate discount code that you are not entitled to. No doubt that IBM would receive a summary of all reservations made under their code and at what property, and no doubt lurkers on here would be well aware of unauthorised use. In essence it amounds to fraud and I would not want IBM or Hyatt's legal department against me."
