Another avenue to take might be to ask your family and friends with corporate jobs, as they will likely have access to these codes and may be willing to share!Īnother barrier to your quest for cheap travel using corporate codes – The small but important fact that you are not technically permitted to use them. While I will not provide a list of codes in this post ( email me if you REALLY want some), there are plenty of blog posts floating around that include them and a simple google search may get you what your looking for. To start – You will first have to gain access to these codes. Now that I have covered that, let’s get down to business… My company badge!? I’ve been working here for 20 years!? And the best part is that typically, employees still earn valuable points and elite credits even with the reduced rates.Ĭompanies benefit from this relationship with reduced travel costs, and hotels benefit in the form of increased occupancy.
Hotels recognize these frequent travel patterns of corporate employees and capitalize on that traffic by offering specific “Corporate Codes.” These codes incentivize corporate business travelers via reduced rates and create brand loyalty between a company and hotel brand.
By virtue of their international footprint, they in turn have a large number of employees who travel regularly in performing their job functions. Major international companies have large employee bases. Hilton HHonors, Marriott Rewards, SPG Starpoints, Hyatt Gold Passport points (for now) – like Pokemon man, I gotta catch ‘em all! These are my go-to and depending on the hotel chain, location and dates, I know that I can redeem a (relatively) reasonable amount of reward points with little to no cash out of pocket!īut… I recognize that not every high rate conundrum can be solved with a hotel reward points redemption plan since award availability can be scarce at times.Įven the best of plans need a back-up plan… Enter Hotel Corporate Rates! What are Corporate Rates? My preferred rate reduction travel hack is of course, hotel reward points. A beautiful fall weekend in Boston shouldn’t cost you a fortune!
