Why pay extra if they don't need to?
If the hotel does actually ask for id, I'll explain that I'm there on behalf of client & client told me to use their code. If there's a problem I'll pay the rack rate (rather than try to find another hotel at 11:30pm) & let the client sort it out w/ the hotel directly the next morning.

I've only been asked once for any company ID to recieve the corp discount. What I did was inform the client the next morning and let them handle it. When I checked out the rate had been corrected. If not, as you said, let the client deal with it. They have that rate for a reason and some sales exec is going to get their butt chewed if it's not corrected by a call from the client.
All said, I wouldn't worry about it at all. Remember, if they screw up it just means more points in your account.
