The Best Marriott Corporate Codes & Discount Codes (2024)

Marriott is the largest hotel company in the world, with one of the most popular loyalty programs, especially with business travelers. If you are going to be traveling for work, you’ll stay at a Marriott at some point and will need to know how to book with Marriott corporate codes.

As someone who has traveled for business for over 30 years, I am very familiar with these codes and use them on a regular basis. (But I only use them at hotels where I am qualified to do so.)

In case you aren’t familiar with them, corporate codes are special codes that are used to identify the negotiated rate a company has with an individual hotel or hotel chain for business travel.

Marriott takes it one step further and offers corporations the ability to receive discounts for both their business and leisure travel. The program they offer for leisure travel is called the Marriott Breakaway Program.

Here is everything you need to know!

What’s included with a corporate rate?

Corporate rates are considered “qualifying rates” by Marriott so they will also allow you to earn Marriott Bonvoy Points and receive all the benefits associated with Marriott elite status.

Corporate discounts can often include more than just a reduced hotel rate. The inclusions will vary depending on what the company has negotiated, but it’s not uncommon to also receive free breakfast, free WiFi, or free transportation from the hotel to your office. You also may have the ability to cancel the reservation on the same day of your reservation without penalty.

How to Book with a Corporate Rate

To find out if a corporate rate is available, just enter the company’s corporate code in the special rates tab when booking your room.  The “Special Rates” box can be found when you enter the destination you are looking for on this booking page.  It’s the same place you would enter a Marriott coupon code or a Marriott promo code.

After you have entered your destination and travel dates, click on the Corporate/Promo Code circle and enter the relevant code.  Then hit “find hotels” and the hotels offering that rate will show up.

If the hotels in your search do not offer the code you are looking for it will come up as “rate unavailable”.

What are the best Marriott Corporate Codes?

As someone who has spent my career in the consulting industry, I know that the largest users of these rates are typically traveling consultants from firms like Accenture, IBM and Deloitte. Consequently, these companies typically have some of the largest chain wide corporate discounts.

However, the chain wide discounts are not always the best. You will often find that Fortune 500 corporations will negotiate rates with hotels near their offices for visiting employees, customer and suppliers. These are often the best rates.

For example, below is an example of some rates for a hotel in Minneapolis, near the 3M headquarters. The normal rate for this hotel is $334/night. Accenture has a nice discount at $289, but 3M has the best discount at $158/night, which is a 53% discount off the standard rate!

Can anyone use them?

No, not everyone is eligible to use a corporate rate, you have to be affiliated with the company whose discount code you are using. However, while most people think you have to be an employee to get the rate, that’s not totally true, you just have to be affiliated with the company in some way, such as an employee, customer, or vendor.

For example, if I was an Accenture consultant, working on an Oracle ERP project for Cisco, I would be eligible for all three of those corporate codes (Accenture, Oracle and Cisco) and would use whatever one offered the best rate at my hotel.

Identification Requirements

If you click on the “Rate Details” link for any corporate rate, you will see the following statement:

_{Please be prepared to show proof of eligibility for your rate (such as a membership card, corporate or government identification card, or proof of your age).}

If the hotel asks you for identification to verify you are an employee of the company, just explain to them your relationship with the company and that will typically suffice. More often than not, they don’t even check for identification.

Local Rate vs. Chain-wide Discount

Negotiated corporate rates typically offer the biggest discount and are between a specific company and a specific Marriott hotel, such as in the case of the 3M example above. However, some large companies with a lot of business travelers, like Accenture, have what is called a Chain-wide discount with Marriott.

The Chain-wide discount is typically a smaller discount that can be used at any property. The Accenture example above is a chain-wide discount rate.

Other Marriott Discounts

If you aren’t eligible for a Corporate Rate or if it isn’t available at the hotel you are staying at there are quite a few other options to get a discount a reduce your nightly rate.

Corporate Leisure Rates

You can see if your company offers a leisure rate via the Marriott Breakaway program, which offers some nice discounts on leisure travel. The savings can be anywhere from 10-30%.

Membership Rates for Seniors, AAA/CAA, and the Military

Other Marriott discounts are available for members of the military, AAA/CAA members, and seniors.

Discount Description	Estimated Savings	Booking Link
Military & First Responder	Save 15% (code XYD)	Book Here
AAA/CAA Discount	Save 5-10%	Book Here
Government Rate	Save 5-10%	Book Here
Senior Discount (62+ years)	Save 5-10%	Book Here

Employees, Friends and Family Members

If you know are a Marriott Employee or if you know one, you can save a lot through the Marriott Explore program.

University Rates

Another great discount that people are normally not aware is a University discount. If you are staying at a hotel that is located near a major university and visit the campus, or take a tour, you can possibly get a hotel discount as a bonus!

If you google “University of Michigan Hotel Discounts” you will find a page that shows local hotels in the Ann Arbor/Detroit area that have negotiated rates with the university. In the case of U of M, they have discounts with Marriott, Hyatt, Hilton and several other hotel brands.

These university discounts won’t work on busy weekends, like parents weekend or a weekend with a home football game, but I have used them when visiting my kids at off-peak times and have received savings of up to 50% off the rack rate!

Here are some travel pages to demonstrate what I am talking about:

• Arizona State University
• University of Michigan
• University of Miami

Pro Tip: How use the Marriott App to Compare Multiple Rates

There is a little known trick that can help you compare multiple codes and rates at the same time when using the Marriott App. This trick is only available via the app on the your phone or tablet, not on your laptop or PC, so please keep that in mind.

Here is how to do it:

Open the Marriott app on your phone or tablet. Enter your location and dates, then click the arrow to open the “Special Rates” section

Once you click on the special rates tab you will have the option to compare a variety of different rates. If you want to compare rates, go to the field that says “Add Corp/Promo Code” and add up to 4 of the corporate codes that you want to compare.

Now you need to make sure the box to the right is checked for each rate type you want to compare. If you want you can also check the box to save this for future searches.

The results will be displayed with the hotels that offer the corporate rate and which rate is the best. As you can see from the example below, the best code might not be the same at every hotel in a region. The results in this case show that one of the hotels does not offer a corporate rate, two of them have the best rate with a Deloitte code and one has the best rate with an Accenture codes.

From here you can select your property and room to complete the booking process.

Other Hotel Corporate Codes

Most major hotel chains offer discounted hotel corporate codes. Below are some articles that provide corporate codes by each of the major hotel chains. This includes the corporate rates that are meant for business travelers as well as the discounted corporate leisure rates offered by some hotel chains for your personal trips:

• Best Western
• Choice Hotels
• Hyatt
• Hilton
• IHG
• Radisson
• Wyndham

Frequently Asked Questions

What is included with a corporate rate?

Each discount is negotiated separately so they often have different inclusions. Some just offer the reduced rate while others can include free WiFi, shuttle transportation to the office and flexible cancellation policies. If you want to find out what is included in your rate, just click on “rate details” and the specifics of your rate will be displayed.

Do you earn Marriott points?

Yes. These discounted rates are considered “qualified rates” and are eligible to earn base points as well as any bonus points associated with a Marriott Bonvoy promotion.

Do you receive Marriott Bonvoy status benefits?

Yes. As stated in the question above, corporate discounts are considered “qualified rates” and are eligible to receive the benefits of your Marriott Bonvoy elite status.

What companies have the best rates with Marriott?

The best “Chain-wide” corporate discounts are going to be with the largest consulting companies such as Deloitte, Accenture, E&Y, etc. However, you may find a better rate associated with a major corporation in the area. For example, Proctor & Gamble will most likely have the best rates in Cincinnati because it is their headquarter location, but outside of that region Deloitte will have a better chain wide corporate discount.
