Was asked for proof of employment for a rate by Marriott for the first time in my career (500+ stays) - apparently a jan 1 change by Marriott to start checking…any other brands doing this? Not a huge deal if not “borrowing” a code (rack rate charge if you can’t show proof - ouch), but a bit of a pain since it limits your ability to do a digital key…

What’s your Marriott status? There used to be a policy to at least not ask Platinum+ for proof of eligibility for most rates (excluding travel agent, employee, and friends and family rates)

Have never had it before. If it's going to be a thing I better go into the office for the first time and get an employee ID.

FYI Accenture ID’s don’t include the actual company name on them as a security measure. You should be okay with just showing your outlook account with an @accenture.com email though. Was able to do that after a bit of back and forth with the check in desk.

Travelled last week. I did mobile checkin the day before. They only asked for id when I got there. But I couldve gone st to my room if i wanted to

You don’t need a badge for proof. Email is all that is needed.

Right, so up to each vendor to enforce EY policy.

That's why I keep a business card from all my prior firms

Hertz. First time ever they asked for a badge and would NOT give in. Finally, they accepted email evidence.

Thanks for this heads up

What would you need to do if you worked for a consulting firm, but you were using a client code? A consultant could work for almost any company or even government agency.

Government rate often requires a government contractor ID
