I sometimes get a "You are here from "Acme" Corporation?" when using our corporate rates either for business or private, I just brush it off with a quick affirmative statement. Though all of our rates does actually say that the traveller must show corporate ID, it is really rare to get anything more than a quick verbal confirmation. I don't think St Regis or W in Osaka ever even did that much.
