I did a search since I happened to see the code before it was deleted. It was listed in one post on a multi-page thread 7 years ago. Not several threads, & certainly nothing recent.
Obviously someone who is actually entitled to use the code would already know it. Otherwise someone would have to do a search on discount codes in the forum to pull anything up, which is my guess on what you did.
BTW - publicly available codes are ok to post in the appropriate forum, but the mod will usually delete proprietary codes.
Getting back to your original question:
As I mentioned before, when I plugged the code into cities where the company has a presence, the rate rules state you need to be prepared to show i.d. when checking in.
Please be prepared to show proof of eligibility for your rate (such as a membership card, corporate or government identification card, or proof of your age).
BTW - when they say membership card, they're talking AAA, AARP, ENT, not Delta Medallion.
If you found a property that didn't have that in the rules, I'd run it by Marriott ressies to get a confirmation that you're ok, or print out the rate rules to bolster your case & also have a back-up ressie in case your argument doesn't hold sway w/ the front desk.
I think certain rates like the government rate & airline rates the hotels check more for id than others.
Cheers.
