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.

The new HHonors promotion from September 1 gives double points - and triple points from October 1 if booked via the app. For most of my bookings I use the MVP rate, but is that possible to book via the app? I'm not able to find a way to do it. Do we lose the triple points bonus because of this?

Probably.
Use the Team USA codes instead. Still usually 15% off, if the triple points are worth 5% to you. Interestingly, it's probably about s wash (10 points/$ worth about 5% rebate IMO).

I'm so confused. Why am I seeing this mention of app-booking triple points only in this thread, and no mention of the specifics of it in the main promo thread (just vague "mobile bonus offer coming soon")?

You could book the MVP rate using a computer for your desired hotel and dates, etc. Select 1 adult during booking. Then when your reservation shows up on your app, go edit your reservation, change the number of guests to 2, the MVP rate should show up during the booking process.

There might be a workaround, but not sure if this will trigger the mobile 3X.

I was going to try your suggestion. I opened a reservation that I have done on the PC using the MVP rate. I went to edit it and then I saw a corporate code was present, NOT the corporate code we used to for the MVP rate. So I stopped the editing and tried a new reservation using the app. I entered the code that I saw, and what happened? I was offered the MVP rate

I'm going to leave it to runarbg whether to post the codes, but if you follow his procedure, you'll see them. As was true before, the code is different for DT, ES, and Hampton than for the others.

Thanks for this. I have just spent the last couple of hours, cancelling and rebooking stays on the app using MVP to get the triple points (hopefully).
