Taking advantage of Marriott Corporate Codes & Discounted Corporate Rates is a great way to ensure you’re getting the most out of each dollar you spend on your hotel stays (as long as you are eligible for these rates).
In case you aren’t familiar with them, Marriott Corporate Rates use special codes that are used to identify the negotiated rate a company has with Marriott for business travel. Marriott also has the Marriott Breakaway Program that offers discounts for leisure travel.
To find out if your company’s corporate rate will work at a hotel in your desired area, all you have to do is enter the code at the same time you enter the location and dates when booking your reservation. If the hotel has a negotiated rate with your company, it will appear in the search results.
How Book with a Marriott Corporate Code:
To find out if a corporate rate is available, you will have to enter the company’s specific Marriott corporate code in the special rates tab for the corporate discount to apply. The “Special Rates” box can be found when you enter the destination you are looking for on this booking page.
After you have entered your destination and travel dates, click on the Corporate/Promo Code circle and enter the relevant Marriott corporate code. Then hit “find hotels” and the hotels offering that rate will show up.
Can Anyone Use a Corporate Rate?
No, not everyone is eligible to use a corporate rate, you have to be affiliated with the company whose discount code you are using. Most people think you have to be an employee to get the rate, but that’s not true, you just have to be affiliated with the company in some way (employee, customer, vendor).
As someone who has spent my career in the consulting industry, the largest users of these rates are typically external consultants. For example, if you are a consultant with Accenture and are working on a project for Ford Motor Company, you could use either the Accenture corporate rate (ACC) or the Ford corporate rate (FRD), whichever is better. In this case, Ford will have to reimburse Accenture for their travel costs, so they want to make the external consultants are paying the lowest rate.

Identification Requirements when Using a Corporate Code
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.
Corporate Rate vs. Chainwide Discount
Negotiated corporate rates typically offer the biggest discount and are between a specific company and a specific hotel, such as in the case of the Ford example above. However, some large companies with a lot of business travelers, like Accenture, have what is called a Chainwide discount with Marriott.
The Chainwide discount is typically a smaller discount that can be used at any property. The Accenture example above is a chainwide discount rate.
What is Included with a Corporate Rate?
Corporate rates can often include more than just a discount hotel rate. This will vary depending on the rate and what the company has negotiated, but it is not uncommon to also receive free breakfast, free wifi, or free transportation from the hotel to your office. An even bigger perk can be the ability to cancel the reservation on the same day of your reservation without penalty.
An added benefit to corporate rates is that, unlike discounts offered through Online Travel Agents (OTA’s), these corporate codes allow you to save money AND still earn Marriott Rewards Points.
