"The AMX code for American Express employees is widely circulated. Community members note that "neither Amex Platinum nor Amex Bonvoy cardholders have any special corporate codes — this is strictly for Amex employees." Hotel staff may require employee verification. No specific denial cases documented, but risk noted as moderate given Amex's large employee headcount makes staff less suspicious of claimants."

"I occasionally try to get the corporate rate for a company I'm visiting in the area (for sales/consulting). Only once has a front desk clerk asked me to prove my eligibility, and she was satisfied by me giving the name and telephone number of the person I was visiting."

"I work front desk and it seems like management is really pushing to check IDs for any special rate. Personally im lazy and also don’t care that much to start a confrontation so I only verify govt rates and employee rates, but yes it is being enforced more harshly. Corporate rates I guess are easy to find online and thus abused. Again, I don’t care that much because they’re still pricey anyway !!"
