Definitely a good reason not to get in a wreck with your hotel room!
In 20+ years of using corporate rates, about 1/3 of the time I've used a corporate rate number at the time of the reservation, the rest of the time it's been a mention of the client, also usually at the time the reservation is made.
I have, on occasion, used the corporate number for pleasure travel (oops), and have never been challenged.
