With that being said, it's up to you

I'm curious since this is often cited as one of the arguments against using a code to which you're not entitled. What exactly would happen -- you get banned from the rental agency? It makes sense that any included CDP/insurance wouldn't apply, but you should have your own insurance anyways. And besides, I've never heard of anybody using corporate codes for the insurance -- it's always to get a cheaper rate. There don't seem to be any real consequences yet this "fear of the ineligibility" seems to always come up without any actual reports/proof of consequences
