"FedRooms (295936) is the US government's official negotiated hotel rate program. Government rates legally require a valid government-issued photo ID at check-in — this is federal policy, not hotel discretion. GSA.gov states: "Employees must present a valid government-issued ID at check-in." FedRooms properties are contractually required to enforce this policy. Unlike corporate codes where enforcement is optional, government rate verification is mandatory and systematic. Using FedRooms rates without government credentials constitutes federal contract fraud."

"Corporate rate I’ve booked under for a large big tech company allows for personal use, and I’ve checked in numerous times with my family in locations where my company doesn’t have an office. I can count on one hand the number of times over the past decade (lifetime platinum) I’ve been asked for proof of employment with that company."
