"The Allstate corporate code ALL is in Marriott's system with no widely documented community verification incidents. General Marriott analysis notes: "Select-service properties like Fairfield Inn, SpringHill Suites, and Courtyard tend to only verify IDs during high-occupancy events like local conventions." Allstate is an insurance company with significant employee travel volume, making the code less unusual to hotel staff in the Midwest where Allstate is headquartered."

"I had to change my email to my personal email account. My IT sucks, I have had so many joe.smith1 to joe.smith9 at my corporate name dot Com. Why I like to get my folio in person and on my email. Miss a receipt and your expense report gets rejected. Only been asked once for corporate proff, but I am nice to the staff and explain what's going on before they get a chance to ask.

"I am very rarely asked to prove my eligibility for a rate...but they have every right to ask and if you can't produce it, you will be re-rated to the current rate, which is often even higher and there is no guarantee points rooms will be available. Doing online check in rarely helps this as most properties don't actually do online anyway - especially to people who are not returning guests to the property or elite. You are taking a gamble. One that is likely to be fine. But understand you are intentionally breaking the terms of the bonvoy program and if someone really cared, there can be consequences."
