"Hyatt's general corporate code thread documents verification experiences but no BNP Paribas-specific cases were found. The FlyerTalk consensus: "The hotel has the right to request support of your affiliation — typically a business card will suffice." BNP Paribas is a major European financial institution. Financial sector codes at Hyatt carry moderate-to-high scrutiny, especially in European markets where BNP has strong presence."

"I also see a problem where (I know our company has for certain properties) Last Room Available rates which come in at the corporate rate; its not for all properties but we do have a list of those where if there is one room left, they have to give it to us at the corporate rate; other places is a certain number go at Corp rate 1 then it goes to corp rate 2 etc"

"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."
