I'm still seeing the MVP rate sporadically but it is now above the AAA rate. End of an era. I used it for the vast majority of my US stays.

I'm guessing that you probably have to have the appropriate Corporate Account number in your profile to access the MVP rates. End of an era, indeed.

But when I repeated this for Paris (for the random date I picked), not even the Hampton showed the MVP rate as lowest.

Now, in my case, AAA, AARP, and senior rates are all valid rates for me, but even if they aren't for you, you could use this trick in searches to see which properties are really still giving MVP discounts better than most other discounts.

Interesting results. I’ve tried a search in Paris again, Hampton Paris Clichy shows MVP as lowest rate with old terms and cancellable.

Public Sector / Gov

Thoughts?

I’d be interested to see if anything changes with such rates. I’ve used gov rate on duty and public sector for leisure many times. Haven’t been asked for ID once, but always have it on hand just in case.

MVP link not working today

I just noticed this, the hhonors.com/mvp link I always use isn't working. I wonder if this is temporary or permanent.

When I go to mine it tells me it's a compromised website. I'm not booking the MVP rate anymore, but it was the last bastion of the old format, which I like so much better.

I've never heard of that link. It indeed isn't working.

But the one listed in the wikipost atop this thread:

https://stay.hilton.com/mvp

is working fine (technically) for me this morning as long as I don't open it in Chrome in a normal window (it does work for me in Chrome in an incognito/private window, and it works in Firefox where I have it bookmarked in any type of window). It's still giving rates that are worse than AAA/etc in most places, but the website itself is working fine.

(I've long been using it with incognito/private windows, because I tired of Hilton sending me emails "book that hotel now" when I was just doing exploratory searches, even without logging in!)

If I click on the FlyerTalk link in Chrome without using an incognito window, it redirects to a normal Hilton website, but then lets me paste the link manually and that works. I don't know why. It might be because of extensions I have on by default in Chrome but not in Firefox?

For now, MVP rate is a dead topic (to me). Wake me up when you find an accessible rate code that allows returning to Hilton. There are enough Hyatt properties that offer better value to satisfy.

Is anyone here a member of Orienteering USA? They list the MVP discount as available to their members, but their website still refers people back to the old MVP site that doesn't work anymore. Just trying to see if their members still get the MVP rates. If so, it might be worth the $35 annual fee to join.

In light of the upcoming travel recession, it may be prudent for Hilton to bring back the public MVP Rate once travel opens back up again to get that segment of travelers over to Hilton properties once travel resumes again.
