Just checked into a Westin and the front desk gave me a hell of a time because I didn’t have my business card or “corporate ID” to verify the corporate rate. I haven’t traveled with business cards in years. Firm doesn’t have an office in my city so no corp ID - and from colleagues, I know that the badge doesn’t include the firm name. Da fuq? Is this a new thing? I’m ambassador, fwiw.

Any thoughts how to get money back or get a hold of actual hotel? The phone number leads to a series of handoffs. Thank you.
