The codes come from your corporate travel department. If you're authorized to use these codes, you will have NO problem whatsoever obtaining them.

This entire thread really should be shut down. It is only a haven for 1 post wonders to ask for corporate codes they aren't entitled to use. There are no "discount" codes for Hyatt, so the title is nonsense. It's just a repository of "can u give me code to company x plz thx!!1!".

I agree, and what is the problem with sharing the codes. People can make the decision on their own whether they want to take the risk of using it or not. I dont see this kind of negative-ness on the other chain threads, where the codes are shared freely.

Would someone be so kind as to share the codes to the safety deposit boxes at my local bank? . People can make the decision on their own whether they want to take the risk of using them or not

For you it doesn't. For others, it does.

I want to buy a new Apple computer. Would an Apple employee please send me their Employee ID number, so that I can use their employee discount?

I want to fly to New York City. Would an airline employee please send me their employee ID number, so that I can get an employee discount?

I want to dine at a nice restaurant. Would a restaurant employee please let me use their ID card, so that I can get an employee discount?

I need to take a trip and I don't want to pay for parking. Would an airport employee please loan me their credentials, so that I can park in the employee parking lot?

I can't afford health insurance. Would an employee of a company with good health insurance please list me on their policy as a dependent? I'll reimburse the actual premium cost.

You can share as much as you want on PM just not publicly in the thread due to FT terms of service concerning proprietary information.

If that is the case, then why does this thread exist at all? I say again, just shut this thread down.

seawolf

It's a "PM me" thread.

There's no support from moderators to shut it down as this thread is more than 10 years and do contain prior requests for shutdown but they have not been acted upon.

What moderators have done in the past (at least on the Marriott forum) is to remove posts containing actual non-public codes if they are alerted to it.

First time on this side, usually trolling mileage runs.....While I can appreciate Cloud Coder's POV, I'd like to suggest the difference (in my mind) between these examples and using a corporate hotel code. The corporations that I've worked for that were large enough to have a travel department would contract with hotel chains for X number of room nights per year. The more nights booked, the better the discount the following year. If I'm able to use your corporate rate, I see that as a win-win-win. I win because I save a few bucks, your company wins because my (paid) room night helps increase your discount in the future, and the hotel wins because they're one room closer to full - and their revenues go up as the hotel fills up. Win-Win-Win. Who's harmed? The hotel because I saved +/- $30 on the room rate? No, because I'm spending that in the bar/restaurant, and tipping the waitstaff, bartenders, and housekeepers. IMO the only harm is to the next guy who has to pay closer to the rack rate as the hotel fills up.

Of course, as always, I reserve the right to be completely wrong.

And I can't help but feel that the 'next guy' is honest old me. Hyatt has a lot of properties that have really high 'rack rates' (HR New Orleans, HR Atlanta, HR Boston, HR Dallas) that perhaps work only because the hotel is already full with people on corporate rates. A small win for you, the hotel (maybe), and the business (maybe) doesn't matter to me when I am the loser and have either increased costs and/or decreased usable footprint. (case in point: when I stay at lounge-less HH New Orleans at 170$ a night because the HR next door is at 400$ a night, the HR is bustling with business travelers and conventioners all likely staying on negotiated rates - I am shut out).

And I put the maybes there, because if the hotel is full (which is not uncommon at HRs in business locations), providing a room on a corporate rate vs getting a rack rate customer is lost revenue, and I am not 100% sure about your thesis that one, or even a few, increased customers will do anything to lower a negotiated corporate discount.

I see it mostly as a win for one individual who is being unethical, and a loss for another individual who is being ethical.

Edit: And I agree that this thread should be closed. The airline forums forbid the advocating for violations in terms and conditions, such as hidden city pricing, but we allow threads for people to scavenge and ask for corporate rate codes?
