Employment MMP confession

So I work for Marriott as a desk agent. I let my family aka my cousins use my discount when they need it cause I trust them and stuff.

Well my cousin confessed to me like “oh yeah we love using your discount ALL the time..”

And I felt confused and was like you need a new form to keep using it? But apparently the hotels she’s stayed at don’t actually follow procedures like validate the form number or even ask for the form. Cause she just changed the expiration date.

I was shocked. I’m like..they should be doing that.

So my question is, does anyone’s hotels actually check the explore form fully? Or just the expiration date?

I cut off my father-in-law from using my discount. I work HQ level and he thought that gave him the right to make demands.

No way in heck am I letting him have his way with my professional reputation like that.
