Taking advantage of IHG Corporate Codes for discounted hotel rates is a great way to get the best value for each dollar you spend on your hotel stays. You just need to be eligible to use the rate code but don’t worry, you are probably more eligible than you think :).
In this article, we will dig deeper into IHG Corporate Codes, including what they are and how to use them. More importantly, we will provide a list of codes that you may be able to use.
What are Corporate Codes?
In case you aren’t familiar with them, Corporate Codes are special rate codes that are used to identify the negotiated rate an organization has with a hotel chain (in this case, IHG) and are entered in a “Corporate ID” field to calculate the reduced rate.
These rates apply to corporate employees, members of certain organizations, and government officials and can be either local discounts with a specific hotel or national discounts that apply across the entire chain of properties.
If you’re affiliated with a company that has the negotiated rate in some way (employee, customer, vendor), you can take advantage of these corporate discounts and save a lot of money!
IHG Corporate Rates
Corporate discounts will vary from location to location and can be up to 50% off rack rates. Consulting firms like Accenture and IBM have a lot of consultants traveling every week so they are going to have some of the best “chain-wide” or “system-wide” discounts.
However, many large corporations bring in a lot of visitors and will provide some great rates in their local headquarters vicinity – such as Bank of America in Charlotte, 3M in Minneapolis, or Ford Motor Company in Detroit.
Here’s an example of savings using the Ford Motor Company Corporate Rate at a hotel near their headquarters in Dearborn, MI. The Corporate Rate does not require you to prepay and it is 18% less than the advance purchase rate and 23% less than the best flexible rate.

IHG One Rewards
Unlike discounts offered through Online Travel Agents (OTA’s) or IHG’s Friends and Family Rate, these codes allow you to save money AND still earn IHG One Rewards Points and get IHG Elite Status Benefits.
IHG Brands that Accept Corporate Codes
Corporate rates are available at IHG’s higher-end properties like Kimpton, Regent, and Intercontinental as well as their mid-tier and economy brands like Holiday Inn, Holiday Inn Express, Crowne Plaza, Indigo, Staybridge Suites, and Candlewood Suites hotels.
IHG University Discounts
The table above includes both businesses and a couple of universities. If you are going to be visiting a city that has a major university, you may want to “take a tour of the campus” to do some scouting for a current or future child or grandchild. If this is the case, google the university’s negotiated travel rates, they can offer some pretty nice savings for people who are on campus tours.
Check out this link for what hotel discounts you will find when visiting Arizona State University. You may even want to create a vacation out of this college visit to maximize the discount :).
How to Book with an IHG Corporate Code
It’s very easy to determine if a Corporate Code is going to provide a discount for you. Just enter the code in the special rate field (pictured below) and your search will reveal if a discount is available at a given property.
Identification Requirements when using a Corporate Code
Most hotel properties would rather sell a discounted room rather than have it sit empty, so they are lax about asking for an ID.
However, according to policies on Corporate Travel, IHG does reserve the right to ask for employment verification. Proof of employment may be verified with a business card or company credit card. If you are not able to show your affiliation with the company, you may be required to pay the full rack rate.
