What I however can't understand is that the code is now at a higher rate than simply making a reservation under my EE account.
I don't think you're that late to the party - my corporate rates have been the same for years up until about 2 months ago, now rates are anywhere from 25-40% more than they had been (what was 41 a day is now 54). It's my understanding that the rates are negotiated on a yearly basis so you would notice the increase 12mo after the original negotiated rate.
