I don't believe that the code being used is actually the employee ID number as mine is only a six digit code and I am a fairly new employee. I'm sure they were given a separate number that is only used for this program to make sure they are rewarded.

I hate to stick up for the original poster of this deal, but like mentioned a few times already in this thread, I don't believe that it is necessary to see the special rates but possibly necessary to prove that you "know" someone that works at a Fairmont when checking in? I mean the front desk of CanuckFlyHigh's parents noticed it (but luckily didn't ask for specifics).

However to deliberately mislead FTers into thinking a Fairmont reservation couldn't be made without both the employee number and promo code speaks volumes to the naked greed of said employee.
