Bottom line, if you've made it to the parking gate, you're probably home free, but don't assume that you will never be challenged for ID just because you are Preferred.
Yea. I meant company ID. So basically, I am taking chances, although it's very rare that they'll ask for company ID, right? I've done similar things with hotel booking, and I was never asked to show eligibility ID. I'll be picking up at a small regional airport in a small town, so I am not sure if they'll even have a gate there. Perhaps I'll still have to stop by the counter to pick up the key. I think I should call to ask before the trip.
