I don't use the company codes (except for one particular property next to one of our offices which uses a city chamber of commerce code) as our government auditors would be rather cross about me doing that. In some states, I'm entitled to use the Government rate, and then I do use that.
But back in the early days of Priceline, many properties of different brands would set their NYOP rate to either the government rate or the airline pilot/FA rate. So it is useful information to know.
