bad karma.
i find that there's generally always a legitimate way to get what you want. i for example have had some luck calling up the hotel directly and getting them to lower rates if i tell them that i'd really like to give them the business but that a competitor hotel has a much better rate for me. in the past few years, as a graduate student, i've been able to plead my case that i can only afford to pay lower rates but that i have a lot of business travel ahead of me when i go back to work, and its surprising how often the hotel will lower rates for me. legitimately and with no guilt!

I'm sure they exist but you would need real ID to use either code.

What can such a proof be? Is actually anybody who works at company A eligible for the discount rate or only certain staff members from company A?
