Can non-employees use employee discount codes on hotels? Do the hotels / companies actually check? I got an Excel sheet of codes by company. Separately, I'm slightly disappointed by rates. For a 5-star hotel, using the codes might reduce the rate from $600 to $450 per night. Does that sound right?

Stay at Motel 6, use the Wipro or Cognizant discount codes.

I've had to present proof sometimes. Worst case scenario is that they don't honor the code AND cancel your booking. Depending on situation, I may or may not risk it

I've used random corporate codes for decades and only called out on it once and that was because the rate was about $150 below the rack rate and more than $100 less than common corporate codes.

It happened after our 4th or 5th stay ( they were about 6 of us using the code). Apparently, the GM or someone in accounting noticed how much money they were losing each week. After that incident, they adjusted the rate on the website and put it more in line with other codes.

Share codes!

Marriott brands tend to be the pickiest and ask for ID the most often, with Hyatt next and Hilton/IHG least. That said, if overall demand is high in your destination at the time you plan to travel, or a particular hotel is oversold over your dates, you can expect them to ask for proof that you’re eligible for your rate.

I have had to present proof when I used corporate rates about 60% of time, almost all the time at Marriott brands

Id, business card, once I had to turn on my laptop cos I didn’t have any form of work identification on me

They’ll often ask you to show ID.

I once wasn’t carrying my badge and they were okay with just the company CC too.

Heard that many Accenture people use Deloitte codes on Marriott properties. Use whatever you want and have an email or id to show if the desk asks.
