Seriously probably 10 or 12 different corporate rates in the last 2 years or so. Including at least one property (twice) with a sign hanging at the front desk that stated "All guest using corporate rates will be asked for ID to show their eligibility".
although that was not my post you are quoting; i'll take a stab at what he was trying to say
I think he is saying that corp rates in theory should increase your chances that you will be called on the rate (show ID) vs. generic rate codes like AAA where almost everyone has a AAA card. My two extremely devalued MR points are that the following order in most likely to get carded to least are
1. Marriott employee/friends etc
2. Govt (by far and a way)
3. Sr AARP etc if you don't look it
4. Cards like Entertainment
5. corp travel like airlines etc
6. generic corp codes
7. publicly listed which shouldn't have any carding since its not applicable
