As the FT policy is not to discuss such corp rate codes, I do not go into details.
are you sure the company's who's rate you were using was contractually extended to affiliates/suppliers/contractors/consultants? Most do not, it wouldn't be up to the front desk to disprove anything - all they would have to do is ask for the ID stated in the contract
