They give the front desk clerk their HH# and credit card, and 10 times out of 10 they've been given lounge access / breakfast coupons / etc. The hotel can tell that the co-workers are not Diamond members (one is Gold, other Silver) so they can easily remove the benefits if they so choose,
I can demand the benefits as Diamond if there is a problem, and all's well 
I have done this as well, and my colleague has received breakfast benefits. However, I will not demand the benefits for them if the hotel does not grant them benefits. The benefits are for Diamond (and Gold) members, not the Silver member.
