Hi, GU.

That's why I asked the question. I stayed at a lot of Choice props at a lot of different rates (60+, military/government, etc.) and was never asked for any ID. I suspect, though, that this one might be a little tighter.

IIRC, they have a little card/slip of paper that the manager/employee fills out in your name and you can use that as the "friends" part of F&F. "Family" woud require your hotel ID.

These things are probably not easy to fake - I suspect a lot of people trying to use that rate would not even know what was required.

Still waiting for someone to report on whether he was able to use the rate without any sort of ID.
