"FedEx Custom Critical (954288433) is an IHG code for FedEx's expedited shipping division. FedEx's general IHG code enforcement: IHG has escalated monitoring of FedEx codes in recent years, with InterContinental properties requesting employee ID. FedEx monitors hotel usage volume across business units — inflated usage in any unit could flag a code for review. Holiday Inn/Express tier: minimal enforcement. Crowne Plaza and InterContinental: moderate enforcement. One FlyerTalk user documented being charged rack rate at a Crowne Plaza after failing to show FedEx credentials."

"Bayer 251321 is confirmed as an IHG corporate code. IHG enforcement is highly brand-dependent: milepro.com states "At InterContinental or Kimpton, you'll almost certainly need to show proof of eligibility" while "Holiday Inn Express properties rarely check." Bayer's heavy presence at InterContinental properties in European pharma hubs (Frankfurt, Basel, London) means real-world usage skews toward high-enforcement properties. FlyerTalk on IHG code verification: "They do often ask for ID. YMMV." Rated Medium because enforcement is brand-split."

"IHG corporate codes vary by brand. Airport Holiday Inns rarely check credentials, while InterContinentals in major cities almost always do. The likelihood of a request for ID is based on the size of the discount — the greater the discount, the more diligent the front desk. Be prepared to be asked for company ID if the discount rate is more than the standard 15% given to most corporates, or if the company rate is a fixed rate lower than the hotel's ADR. Cisco's IHG code (954410926) sits alongside IBM and Dell in the widely-circulated FlyerTalk master list; tech-company codes at this tier typically yield 10-25% savings and trigger occasional verification at full-service properties but rarely at Holiday Inn Express tier."
