FEBRUARY 6, 2020 UPDATE
Loyalty Lobby has reported and the FlyerTalk Hilton Honors Ambassador has confirmed that MVP rates can no longer be booked via the MVP website without the required association with targeted sports programs.
OCTOBER 5, 2016 UPDATE
There are new MVP codes that can once again be booked in the "Corporate" field of a particular hotel (not all hotels, of course, will always have MVP rates available):
Hampton Inn, Embassy Suites, Homewood Suites, Doubletree, etc. 0561135262 or 0560041604 (check both codes - as some some properties offer MVP rates - but only via one of the codes, not both).
HGI and Hilton 1135262 or 0041604 (check both codes - as some some properties offer MVP rates - but only via one of the codes, not both).
These codes now also work on the mobile app.
So, you have three choices:
1) Use http://stay.hilton.com/mvp/
2) Use the above corporate codes on the main website.
3) Use the above corporate codes in the Hilton app.
NOTES:
1. When the MVP rate is not available (usually 20% discount), often the "Team USA" rate (15%) will be. Use corporate codes 0002635191 (or sometimes ) 2635167.
2. Homwood Suites are often anomalous in their pricing, with AAA and Sr Rates often cheaper than either MVP or Team USA rates.

Summary of answers to incessantly asked questions
NEW: As of ~April 2015, using the corporate codes for MVP on the regular site seems to not return any MVP rates. Instead go to hiltonfamilymvp.com
In the "Corporate Account" box type:
For MVP - 0041604 for Hilton and HGI; 0560041604 all others. MVP rates are not commissionable to agents; a very few properties may require press credentials - read booking terms.

Summary of answers to incessantly asked questions
- YES, MVP can be used by anyone
- There is no "sports affiliation" required. ( The only HHonors brand still retaining that verbiage in the "Rate Details" for a booking is the Homewood Suites. If you're really worried, you can get a USGA membership for $36
- There are many reports that the MVP rate can't be booked by the hotel itself or Customer Service; must be done by the guest online.
- Other reports say if you call in and ask what rates are available, they're not supposed to tell you about the MVP. But, they can offer it if you specifically request it.
- The rate accrues the normal points.
- The rate is as eligible for upgrades as any other rate, depending on your status, etc.
- When MVP rate is not available, the Team USA rate is often the next best choice.
In the "Corporate Account" box type:
For MVP - 0041604 for Hilton and HGI; 0560041604 all others. MVP rates are not commissionable to agents; a very few properties may require press credentials - read booking terms.

Entering the appropriate corporate codes still brings up the MVP rate.

Given it's affecting more than just MVP, I suspect it's not deliberate.

Is there a trick to not having to enter the code for every single hotel you are looking at? Before when you were on the MVP website you could just browse around at will, it always showed the MVP rates if they were available.

Multiple?
There are only two codes:
Hampton Inn, Embassy Suites, Homewood Suites, Doubletree, etc. 0561135262
HGI and Hilton 1135262
and they differ only by whether they include an extra 3 digits (056) at the beginning. Otherwise the two codes are the same.HGI and Hilton 1135262
So, on the Android app, I just put the cursor at the beginning, and either add or remove those 3 digits, and redo the search.
Voila, two searches (without ever having to type any part of 0561135262 twice) show all the hotels in the area with the MVP rate as "corporate rate".
Would it be nicer to see MVP rates at all the brands in one search? Sure. Is the end of the world to have to do two searches like this? I don't think so.

Definition of multiple
1 : consisting of, including, or involving more than one
1 : consisting of, including, or involving more than one
No one said they weren't capable of manually adding or removing 3 digits. And I certainly don't think anyone - except you - made reference to the End Times. However, at least in my own case, I was curious about the feature set of a piece of software. Allowing the software to have the capability to input more than one corporate rate code would be a useful feature for those who in fact have access to other legitimate corporate rates, or who wanted to search both MVP rates together. Your method does not allow for side-by-side comparison of all Hilton family hotels at the lowest available (MVP) rate, which is what any reasonable person would want to ideally see (and is what can be seen on the website).
