Marriott Corporate Codes: Unlock Secrets for Business and Leisure Travel

Do you know any secret codes that allow you to get hefty savings on your hotel stays?

Are you curious about the world of corporate codes and the money you could save?

Explore this in-depth guide to Marriott's corporate codes and Breakaway Program, where we'll reveal all the details you want to make the most of your travel advantages!

The biggest hotel chain in the world, Marriott has one of the most well-liked reward programs, particularly among corporate visitors. You will eventually have to stay at a Marriott if you are traveling for work, so you'll need to learn how to make reservations using Marriott corporate codes.

I've been traveling for work for more than 30 years, so I know these codes well and use them frequently. (However, I only use them at hotels where I'm authorized to.)

If you're not aware, corporate codes are unique codes that are meant to indicate the discounted rate that a firm has arranged for business travel with a specific hotel or chain of hotels.

Marriott goes one step further and provides companies with the opportunity to obtain savings on both business and pleasure travel. The Marriott Breakaway package is the name of the leisure travel package they provide.

List of Marriott Corporate Codes

This is a list of businesses that can book rooms at Marriott hotels and resorts at corporate rates.  Simply visit the Marriott Booking Page and, if you are associated with the company, enter the applicable code as previously mentioned.

What’s included with a corporate rate?

Since corporate rates are what Marriott refers to as "qualifying rates," you can also accrue Marriott Bonvoy Points and take advantage of all the perks that come with being a Marriott elite member.

Corporate discounts frequently go beyond merely cheaper lodging rates. Depending on what the business has negotiated, the amenities may differ, but it's normal to also get free WiFi, free breakfast, and free transportation from the hotel to your workplace.

Additionally, you might be able to cancel the reservation without incurring any fees the same day that it is made.

How to Book with a Corporate Rate

Simply input the company's corporate code in the special rates page when making your reservation to see if a corporate rate is available.  When you enter the desired destination on this booking page, the "Special Rates" box appears.  This is the same location where you would input a promo or coupon code for Marriott.

Once your location and travel dates have been entered, click the circle with the corporate/promo code and enter the appropriate code.  After that, select "find hotels," and a list of lodgings at that price will appear.

It will say "rate unavailable" if the hotels in your search do not have the code you are looking for.

What are the best Marriott Corporate Codes?

Having worked in the consulting profession my whole career, I am aware that traveling consultants from companies such as Accenture, IBM, and Deloitte are usually the biggest consumers of these rates. As a result, these businesses usually provide some of the biggest corporate discounts across the entire chain.

The chain-wide savings aren't always the greatest, though. Fortune 500 companies frequently bargain with nearby hotels for discounted rates for visiting staff, clients, and vendors. Frequently, these offer the best prices.

Here is an illustration of some hotel pricing for a property in Minneapolis that is close to the 3M headquarters. This hotel's standard rate is $334 per night. Accenture offers a good deal at $289, but 3M offers the greatest deal at $158 per night—a 53% reduction from the going rate!

Can anyone use them?

No, not everyone is able to utilize a corporate rate; in order to use a corporate rate, you must be connected to the business whose discount code you are using. Though most people believe that in order to qualify for the rate, you must be an employee, customer, or vendor, that isn't entirely accurate. Instead, you only need to have some sort of affiliation with the business.

For instance, I could use any of the three corporate codes—Accenture, Oracle, and Cisco—if I were an Accenture consultant working on an Oracle ERP project for Cisco. I would select the corporate code that provided the greatest deal 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).

Usually, it will be sufficient to explain your link with the organization to the hotel staff if they want identification to confirm your employment. Usually, they don't even ask to see identification.

Local Rate vs. Chain-wide Discount

As with the 3M example above, negotiated corporate rates are usually between a certain firm and a specific Marriott hotel. They often give the largest discount. But certain big businesses that send a lot of business travelers—like Accenture—have access to what's known as a Marriott "Chain-wide discount."

Usually, the chain-wide discount is a lower discount that is valid at any location. The chain-wide discount rate used in the Accenture case above.

Other Marriott Discounts

There are numerous ways to receive a discount and lower your nightly fee if the hotel you are staying at does not offer a Corporate fee or if you are not eligible for one.

Corporate Leisure Rates

The Marriott Breakaway program, which provides some great savings on leisure travel, allows you to check if your employer offers a leisure rate. The savings range from ten to thirty percent.

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

Senior citizens, AAA/CAA members, and members of the armed forces are eligible for additional Marriott savings.

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

A university discount is an additional fantastic bargain that most people are unaware of. You can be eligible for a hotel discount if you stay at a hotel close to a large institution and visit or take a tour of the campus.

You can locate a page listing nearby hotels in the Ann Arbor/Detroit area that have negotiated rates with the university by searching for "University of Michigan Hotel Discounts" on Google. U of M enjoys discounts with a number of hotel brands, including Hilton, Marriott, and Hyatt.

I have utilized these university discounts to save up to 50% off the rack rate when visiting my kids during off-peak hours, but they won't work on busy weekends like parents weekend or a weekend with a home football game!

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

When using the Marriott App, there is a little-known method that might allow you compare many codes and rates at once. Please remember that you can only access this trick through the app on your phone or tablet—not on your laptop or PC.

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

You will be able to compare several different rates as soon as you click on the special rates link. You can add up to four corporate codes to the "Add Corp/Promo Code" area in order to compare rates.

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 hotels that provide the corporate rate as well as the best rate will be shown alongside the results. The example below shows you that not all hotels in an area will have the same code. The findings in this instance demonstrate that two of the hotels have the greatest rates when using a Deloitte code, and one hotel has the best rate when using an Accenture code. One hotel does not offer a corporate rate.

To finish the booking process, choose your property and room from this point on.
