Anyone have experience with the MCO Hyatt checking ID? The hyatt.com rate is $279 while 13717 gets a set $100 for the same room. That is a hell of a savings. We are flying in after 8pm and will be checking out early, traveling with family including kids. I have been watching hotwire and priceline, but can't find a decent rate. I am a web designer... could I pass it off as I am meeting with IBM in Orlando concerning web design and just present my card there? :-)

Also, what is the check in kiosk I read about earlier in the thread?

Thanks.

Not in the least bit

I often bring the family on business travel as they play while I work

OK - people - please do not debate the ethics of using corporate ID codes if (possibly) you're not entitled to use it - we all know both sides of the argument on the issue.

Thanks.

Pretty much every int'l property I've been to has always asked for ID when I booked a room under a corp. rate, including Istanbul, Sydney, Mainz, Hamburg, Madrid, Zurich, Milan and even Toronto.

But I've never been asked at any US property.

So I take it that those whom have done this, use the online check in & the self check in at the Property. I asked an agent about the self check in and as I understand it, this would work for you all without ever needing to go to a desk agent? Being new to Hyatt, I like this self check in process, what a great idea!

Once in a blue moon, the self-checkin machine hasn't worked because of some machine malfunction. I don't really know about frequency, since I rarely use the self-checkin kiosks, but it's happened enough for me to remember it.

I was told that none of the Travelzoo codes earn Hyatt stay credit, nor points.

Untrue. Book them on the Hyatt website and they earn both.

They are not looking for you to show them an employee id badge. I have used and continue to use various corporate codes to get the best discount, I generally give them my business card so their records are clear, but have never had an issue.

You do know that corp rates are not limited to employees, vendors, consultants, lawyers, clients etc. use those rates in connection with their relationship to a company. Moreover, many companies engaged in M&A transactions use the code of the target company.

I think people need not worry about being asked for an ID.

I think that people need to be careful. I have ended up paying rack rate when using a partner's code as the code was only for employees. I have also had cases where I had to have someone from the partner come and show their company ID and insist that I be provided with the corporate rate. First experience was in China while the second was in Canada.
