Mostly a business card is fine.
(Imagine you are on vaccation, why should you have your office badge with you? ) Here in europe mostly it is only a plastic card with a code or a small badge.
I have been asked to provide proof mostly in China. But not always.
Sometimes they asked, sometimes not. Normally they ask only the first time you stay at the hotel. (happened to me at GH Shenzhen, stayed like 4 times there, after the first time they didnt ask anymore for a card)
Others like the GH Guangzhou or Hyatt on the Bund didnt even bother to ask.
As during the trip I was kind of running out of cards: I mostly asked them to make a copy, no problem with that.

Some SPG hotels in Asia have started disregarding business cards and begun verifying email addresses on the reservation on the larger accounts especially those not booked thru a particular travel agency or contain a non-work email address.

But what about those corporate accounts that you are allowed to use for pleasure. I don't use my work email address with that.

At least those SPG properties have been emailing traveler in advance to either provide credentials (email from corporate address) or corporate letterhead with local office contact information documenting traveler is authorized to use this rate or pay BAR at check-in. I'm guessing they are seeing too many fake business cards. LOL.

P.S., have people noticed the IBM corp code NC16700 recently stopped working?
I was able to use it successfully 3 weeks ago but now when I do rate quotes I get this error: "Do Not Use - Invalid Ac"
Just as a data point, I used either my big consulting company Corp rate or the IBM rate, all booked through Hyatt.com over the last 5 years with my personal use gmail email on my profile and had >150 nights without ever being asked for ID. It might have to do with I being Diamond for most of those stays though.
They included stays in Asia/Middle East like Grand Hyatt HK, Grand Hyatt Macau, Hyatt Regency HK, Hyatt Regency Tokyo, Hyatt Regency Osaka, Park Hyatt Abu Dhabi along with lots of USA domestic Hyatts.
The only time out of my ~700 hotel nights over the last 10 years I been asked for verification while on a corporate rate was when I booked a stay at the Ritz-Carlton Hong Kong April 2015 using my employer's corp code booked directly through Marriott/Ritz's website. I got a email from the Ritz HK a day after my booking asking for me for my corporate email address for verification with the warning that if my corp email associated with the corp rate was not verified, then at check-in I would be charged the "best available rate" of 4,500 HKD which was about 50% higher than my company's corp rate.

Las Vegas rates @ MGM Hotels
I'm Diamond and with the MLife tier reciprocity, I am Platinum with Mlife.
When I check for room rates on the MLife site, I get largely discounted tier rates. The Hyatt site only has one rate, and is much higher.
Is there a rate code to get the discounted rates on the Hyatt site? Would probably make booking and stay/points credit easier.

I would check the mlife thread on here. However, I believe that if you book under the mlife website, you still get the Hyatt stay credit & points. I believe that's what I read but I can't confirm. Ask your question there.

Apple Corporate Code
Just to through my $0.02 in ...
I used the Apple Corporate code when booking the Hyatt in Carmel CA. I don't work for Apple but I do work for an Authorized Service Provider. I found the code online and confirmed it was an Apple Corporate code here on this forum. The code took $100 off the nightly rate. I had brought my Authorized Service Provider business card to present if asked. The issue never came up. No one asked for Corporate ID. Just my experience.
