"Lenovo's IHG code (100211707) is for the Chinese multinational technology company (also former owner of IBM PC division). IHG enforcement is tier-based: InterContinental properties in Beijing and Hong Kong encounter Lenovo employees regularly. Lenovo HQ is in Beijing with major US presence in Research Triangle Park NC. IHG InterContinental properties in Asia near Lenovo offices are among the most enforcement-active. Holiday Inn Express: minimal enforcement."

"A former Siemens employee posting on FlyerTalk noted: "When checking in as a group of Siemens employees, we were never asked for ID. However, when traveling alone, front desk staff often asked for some form of ID." IHG enforcement is highly fragmented across its franchise network. Siemens's code falls into the mid-tier corporate bucket. At InterContinental/Kimpton properties, verification is near-certain; at Holiday Inn Express, essentially never. IHG's 2018 T&C update explicitly added unauthorized corporate rate use as grounds for account closure."

"FedEx Ground is one of several FedEx business unit codes in IHG's GDS system. The general FedEx IHG pattern documented on FlyerTalk: IHG has been "very careful" in recent years about verifying codes at full-service brands. FedEx Ground staff IDs are company-standard. Properties near FedEx Ground hubs (Indianapolis, Memphis) are more familiar with FedEx employee badges and may request them. Holiday Inn Express near distribution centers: essentially never check."
