"lol, my front desk managers *hated* any time I asked them to cover AYS. They’d go out to the desk and help no problem, but I always got some kind of attitude asking them to hop on the phone for my break. I worked at a ~650 room property and was regularly scheduled by myself for AYS second shift."

"I have been a Platinum for a few years (which implies I frequent Marriott properties on a regular basis) and up until tonight was NEVER asked for any id to justify a corporate rate or discount (I legitimately use a few corporate rates I am entitled to and AAA rates)"

"AT&T is among the companies with the best Marriott negotiated rates. In the US, I've never been asked to show corporate ID. In Asia and Europe, I've been asked for corporate ID every single time. Since some companies don't put their name on badges for security reasons, the business card route is often tried first and usually accepted."
