"Arizona State University's IHG code (ASU) is an academic institutional code. University codes at IHG properties are used primarily for conference and academic travel. No FlyerTalk thread discusses ASU IHG verification incidents. Academic/education sector codes at IHG are the lowest-enforcement category — holiday Inn / Crowne Plaza near Phoenix (where ASU's main campus is located) are familiar with ASU travelers and rarely request ID."

"Kraft's IHG code (105406) is a food and beverage corporate code. Kraft Heinz (as it's now known) HQ is in Chicago IL and Pittsburgh PA. IHG enforcement: Holiday Inn Express essentially never checks food company codes; Crowne Plaza occasionally. No Kraft+IHG specific verification incident documented. Consumer packaged goods codes at IHG follow the same pattern as McDonald's and Coca-Cola: low scrutiny due to ambiguous franchise/supplier affiliation."

"Code 150711 is confirmed in the FlyerTalk IHG rate code master list alongside Microsoft (100857558) and IBM (000243132). IHG enforcement: some franchises instruct staff to ask all guests; others only ask if discount is better than 15% of flex rate. IHG T&Cs explicitly list using corporate rates without entitlement as grounds to close IHG account. Holiday Inn Express: minimal enforcement; InterContinental/Kimpton: almost always verify."
