Note: This only works for the Amex 500 point bonus if you book with an Amex and pay for your room with it.
OK - I won't post the actual codes in case of the wrong search but here are the steps:
1. google "Hilton MVP"
2. The first result page should be the main Hilton MVP page - near the bottom you will see 2 corp id codes based on the brand you want to use.
3. Go to Hilton.com and find the hotel you want. Note that many of the basic search screen rates may be advance purchase rates.
4. When you click the hotels 'view rates' button you will be taken to a details screen to verify your dates and preferences. Copy in the corp code and click the continue button.
5. The MVP rates for the various available rooms will now display - typically they are 20% off BAR - roughly the same as the Adv Purch rates without having to pay in advance. You can use the browser's back button and remove the code to see the regular rates.
6. Complete your booking.
7. At this point the res will go down as being booked on Hilton.com so it will be eligible for the Amex bonus and any other bonuses that require use of the regular hilton.com portal. Use of the MVP portal negates most of these bonuses.
Note: A few properties don't participate in the MVP program or won't have MVP rates on a given night.

I got this error message:

I thought that I wasn't eligble for a moment, but I just kept trying again and eventually it worked.
I am currently at a DT, so really wanted to get this stay to count - if possible. So put today's date as the start date.
Hopefully this stay will count since I checked in on the day my fast track starated, will check out after [duh], and I booked it using the MVP code.
Does anyone who did this know - if you can see the status of your fast track online at all? Also, does the gold status happen automatically, or will I need to call to request it?
I went ahead and cancelled my AAA reservation this weekend, since I now have a MVP reservation for that stay booked - now that I know it works okay.
Yes, I know tons have had success, but I just had to make sure for myself! When I'm traveling for work, I could care less if the rate were to change on me, but since this is a vacation, I didn't want to be stuck with a rack rate, etc.
Happy to report it was great. I didn't save any money on this with MVP. I could have, but decided to get an upgraded room for $3 more with the MVP code, vs. the smaller room I'd booked before. I probably could have gotten a discount on a queen, but wanted a king.

Just finished my fourth stay last week since signing up for the MVP fast track (a combination of prepaid and MVP rates) and e-mailed Hilton who confirmed my gold status is now good through March 2012.

Fast track only in US?
As I understand the four stays count for "MVP fast track to Gold" within a period of 90 days, right? But you have to book US or Canadian hotels to get the fast track? Saw something with "US Hiltons". Or it works worldwide with Hilton family hotels?

Have used MVP for four stays so far, no troubles... however, I had a last minute trip once and hotel I went to had no clue of the rate and didn't seem to be able to find it/offer it without a pre-existing reservation.

Some old data on MVP
What is it?
"MVP is an optional program designed to gain incremental revenue from the sports market and steal share from our competitors. MVP does this by offering a special discount off BAR that can only be booked via our MVP portal, www.hiltonfamilyMVP.com or by calling a toll free number, 866-424-4276, that is directed to the HHonors Diamond Desk. When calling the toll free number, the traveler must ask for the MVP rate. It will not be offered automatically. The traveler must present their HHonors card (or valid photo ID if they have just their HHonors number) upon check in.
The rate offered via the MVP program is 20% off BAR without last room availability (non-LRA) and will be set up in a special local SRP, L-MVP. The MVP SRP will be loaded into LV1 (or LV0 for those hotels that are only using one value level.) The MVP rate is also not available during special events or blackout dates. ...."

I read that as only US hotels count. However, I can't confirm whether or not their system is setup that way.

Would someone be kind enough to define MVP and what it
does for you. The threads I've seen are older. I'd like to
know about current rules. Thanks
