Hilton Honors has the very popular MVP program that offers a 20% discount at participating hotels in the Americas (Canada, U.S., Brazil, Mexico, etc.), Hawaii and the Caribbean and is eligible for all status benefits and stay/overnight points + credits.
The rate is open to everyone as long as you have any affiliation with the campaign (see below). If you’re not, now is a great time to join!
You can visit Hilton’s MVP program page here (if the link doesn’t work out, please email me – Hilton moves it around every so often). Please note that you can book the MVP rate by using the code below. You can then compare all available rates.
Here are the rate eligibility requirements from Hilton’s MVP page:
Please note: You must be an athletic administrator, athlete, or affiliated with a sports entity, sports-related company, sports group or event to be eligible. You will be asked to show credentials, such as an official business card designated with your team logo, etc.
Making MVP bookings using the following rate codes:
Hilton, Hilton Garden Inn and at select U.S. Hilton Grand Vacations Club locations use MVP corporate code (clickable links): N0041604 or 1135262.
Hampton, DoubleTree and Embassy Suites hotels use MVP corporate code (clickable links): 0560041604 or 0561135262.
You can click on the code above and have the field automatically filled in on Hilton’s website. Sometimes you will need to try all the codes to pull up the prices for all participating hotels.
Here are the rate rules:
There are two separate rate rules that are attached to this rate plan depending of the hotel.
One requiring a sports affiliation:
and another one only requiring being a Hilton Honors member:
If you book your stay at a property that requires one and you don’t have any sport affiliation, you can always become a member of the US Golf Association for $18 (access here).
Cancellation
MVP rate plan is not prepaid like most discounted ones are and follows the same cancellation deadlines as the hotel’s best flexible ones.
Conclusion
It’s a great program that has been around for a long time. The requirements to join are very lenient. Simply joining the USGA is enough and you can recoup the $18 fee in less than one stay.
The only downside is that you sometimes need to click the all four rate codes to bring up the all participating properties in any given market. Not sure why Hilton is not able to use just one rate code?
This rate plan qualifies for all Hilton promotions and you can also get your usual nights and stays points.
