Looking for a Corporate Code
 

Does anyone have the Exelon or Constellation Energy corporate code for marriott? I am traveling and need the code to book online. Thoughts?

Welcome to FT, mburnett!

Several years ago Marriott required FT to refrain from posting corporate codes. You will need to contact your appropriate travel contact within Exelon or Constellation Energy to get that code.

Publicly available codes are maintained here:

If you were authorized to use either, you would know what they are or would know who to call to get them. Otherwise, what you are asking for is the means to commit a fraud.

I am going to give the OP the benefit of the doubt and the OP is working for for either the parent or the subsidiary as consultant. I would contact your contact at the company and ask that they make the reservation for you.

Honestly that is not always the case. I work for a large US-company where I am officially allowed to use corporate rates for leisure travel, however the rate-codes are NOT published anywhere or can be obtained from Travel Management. When I asked them how to use these rates for personal travel (they are automatically applied when using the corporate booking tool) I got "just call the hotel and tell them you want to use our corp-rate" as an reply.

So in a nutshell...if I want to use these rates for personal travel, I need to either call around or find these codes on the Internet to use them to book online...luckily my employer is big enough so that these codes can be found with very little effort.

Husband has had several clients say "use our Corp rate" he says "ok what's the code?" "Just call the hotel and tell them you are with us"

Yes, every contract is just a bit different than the next. Some are very restrictive and some are very open. I've been "retired" from my company for quite some time but still allowed to use their code (knowingly too, I always disclose I'm retired when asked what company I'm with).

Finally, if MI was really concerned about abuse, maybe they should have picked something other than stock ticker symbols as the prevalent corp code?

Having used a corporate rate which matches thier ticker I also get asked for company ID about 50% of the time

It's more fun when you company name isn't on your ID :)

Sort of off-topic, but our company name isn't on our ID badges on purpose - they don't want someone who just happens to find an employee badge to be able to get access to the building.

Last company I worked for had no id's, just a black fob you waved in front of the door. Each fob had a number on it so IT could identify them and give you access to the right buildings and labs and get them back to proper owner if lost on campus, but if lost elsewhere could not be identified.

Yes, the all-in-one Company ID, Access Card, Gym Membership, and Cafeteria Charge Card was a lapse in judgment by management thinking they will save money. Some people live in a really small box and should get out and explore the world a bit. I love the ones that put a business card behind their access card so they can get it back! :)

I work for company X and use company Y code when it's better than ours. Never get checked for ID or even asked. I do about 200 nights a year, 3-5 nights a week so there's ample opportunity to ask me, the FD that is.

When I'm traveling for and/or representing my employer, I try to maintain the ethical high road. That also is what I expect of those who work for me. YMMV.
