HOTEL CORPORATE CODES – WHO HAS THEM AND HOW DO THEY WORK?

Looking for a deal on hotels? Discounts on stays may seem pretty elusive and for the most part you'd be right as hotel chains and online travel agencies don't dish out coupon codes.

That said, there is something called hotel corporate codes. These are special codes you can enter when booking at hotel chains such as Hilton and Marriott that can yield big savings.

Many companies have a large workforce that travel frequently – think sales people, executives, and also consultants and contractors they might hire. To make things more economical, many of these organizations will negotiate special rates for their staff and a hotel corporate code is born.

WHO ARE HOTEL CORPORATE CODES FOR

Another thing to know is that when these corporate codes are created, there are conditions tied to them. Some can be used for business use only while some allow for personal travel as well.

Not all codes are equal.

HOW GOOD ARE THE HOTEL CORPORATE RATES?

This is a big fat “it depends” kind of answer. You'd assume that using hotel corporate codes should result in bigger savings than what the public can get.

HOW DO YOU USE HOTEL CORPORATE CODES?

Once you have the code, it's really just a matter of going to the hotel chain's website, and finding their respective field where you can enter a corporate code/account.

If you're an employee, contractor, or associate connected to the company the code is designated for, then by all means, use the code freely.
