Choice Hotels Corporate Codes & University Discounts

Using Choice Hotels Corporate Codes to get discounted hotel rates is a great way to save up to 20% on your hotel stays.  They are very easy to use, you just need to understand what these codes are, how to use them, and which ones provide the best discount.

In this article, we will dig deeper into Wyndham Corporate Codes, including what they are and how to use them. More importantly, we will provide a list of codes that you may be able to use.

What are Hotel Corporate Codes?

In case you aren’t familiar with them, Corporate Codes are special rate codes that are used to identify the negotiated rate an organization has with a hotel chain (in this case, Choice Hotel Group) and are entered in a “Corporate Code” field on the booking page to calculate the reduced rate.

These rates apply to corporations, members of certain organizations, universities, and government officials. They can be either local discounts with a specific hotel or national discounts that apply across the entire chain of properties.

Suppose you’re affiliated with an organization that has the negotiated rate in some way (employee, customer, vendor). In that case, you can take advantage of these corporate discounts and save a lot of money!

Choice Hotels Corporate Rates

Corporate discounts will vary from location to location and can be up to 20% off rack rates.

Below is a list of some known Choice Hotels corporate codes. However, discounted rates with these codes are very hard to find. Like Wyndham, Choice doesn’t get the same level of business travel as Hilton, Hyatt, IHG, or Marriott, they don’t have as many properties that offer corporate rates. (The Century 21 rate seems to be the most widely available corporate code).

Choice University Discounts

The corporate rate table in this article includes a few businesses and several universities.  If you are going to be visiting a city that has a major university, you may want to “take a tour of the campus” to do some scouting for a current or future child or grandchild.  If this is the case, search Google for the university’s negotiated travel rates. These rates can offer some pretty nice savings for people who are on campus tours.

For example, check out this link for what hotel discounts you will find when visiting the University of Miami.  You will see they have a chain-wide discount at Wyndham (20% Off) and Choice Hotels (15% Off), plus a bunch of negotiated rates at individual hotels in the South Florida area.

You may even want to create a vacation from this college visit to maximize the discount :).

How to Book with a Choice Hotel Corporate Code

Go to the Choice Hotels Booking Page. Then enter your destination, travel dates, and the corporate code in the “Special Rate” field. Hit “Find Hotels” and if a corporate rate is available at your preferred hotel and date it will show up.

Identification Requirements when Using a Corporate Code

Most hotel properties would rather sell a discounted room rather than have it sit empty, so they are lax about asking for an ID. 

However Choice does reserve the right to ask for employment verification or university affiliation.  Proof of employment may be verified with a business card or company credit card. Proof of university affiliation can be with a student or staff ID badge. If you are not able to show your affiliation with the organization, you may be required to pay the full rack rate.
