"HP (alt 2) Marriott code 5444 is a second secondary HP/HPE code. HP has three documented Marriott codes (HPQ, 5105, 5444) reflecting HP's complex corporate structure post-split into HP Inc. and HPE. FlyerTalk notes that "HP's deep discounts — cheapest in China" make it a high-value code worth monitoring. The same enforcement pattern as HPQ applies: Bay Area/Houston properties are most scrutinized, international properties more enforcement-active."

"I regularly stay at a renaissance once a month on our DTC rate and have done mobile check in but always end up at front desk. One time the front desk was like oh. We know you as you have been coming regularly, but I need to double check your id. I think it’s because someone shared it online and now it causes random checks for rest of us."

"I wanted a higher room floor at a Seattle area hotel. I requested it at the front desk when checking in. The front desk thanked me for being a platinum member and told me that the hotel is fully booked and no “upgrades” to a higher floor for me. The girl behind me checked in and she was thanked for being gold, and they gave her a free upgrade to a suite and let her choose which room she wanted! I asked about the upgrade and they told me it’s random. I spoke to the manager and the manager said lots of rooms available and she gave me 5 rooms to choose from. 🤷🏻‍♂️ In the end, I got my upgrade. Had to fight for it."
