While I think anyone stupid enough to try and use a marriott employee discount rate at a marriott hotel when they are not employed by marriott should have their rate increased. On the other hand, who cares if someone who works for IBM used a Citibank discount to lower their rate.
it would be interesting to hear from someone working from behind the desk if this is indeed what they see; the reason I've asked is occasionally I've been asked the specific name of the place that I work
