A Guide To The Hilton TMTP Program

The Hilton Team Member Travel Program (TMTP), accessible through www.hilton.com/tmtp, is a fantastic perk that offers significantly discounted hotel stays to Hilton employees, their friends, and family.

If you're connected to Hilton, either as an employee or through someone who is, you could be unlocking incredible travel opportunities. Let's dive into what this program offers and how you can make the most of it.

What is the Hilton TMTP Program?

The Go Hilton program encompasses two primary discount categories:

• Team Member Travel Program (TMTP): Reserved for Hilton employees, offering deeply discounted, fixed rates at Hilton properties worldwide.
• Friends & Family Travel Program: Allows Hilton employees to add up to 30 people to their approved list, enabling them to book stays at a discounted rate.

Often regarded as one of the best employee discount programs in the hospitality industry, the TMTP offers substantial savings. The program aims to make leisure travel more affordable for Hilton team members and their loved ones.

Who is Eligible?

• Current Hilton Team Members: This includes full-time, part-time, and seasonal employees with a regular work schedule.
• Friends and Family: Hilton employees can add up to 30 individuals to their Friends & Family list. These individuals can then access discounted rates.
• Long-Tenured Former Employees: Those with 10+ years of service may also qualify for some level of discounts.

Benefits of the Go Hilton Program

• Discounted Room Rates: Employees can enjoy rates as low as $35-$75 USD per night, depending on the brand. Friends and family can save up to 50% off the standard flexible rate.
• Food and Beverage Discounts: Team members booking under either TMTP or Family & Friends programs also receive a 50% discount on F&B at restaurants under the same management company as the hotel. (excluding minibar and room service and with some limitations).
• Hilton Honors Points & Benefits: Go Hilton stays count as eligible paid stays. You'll earn basic Hilton Honors points and elite night credits, and if you have elite status, you still receive your perks like upgrades, late checkout, or lounge access.
• Generous Booking Policies: Team members are allowed to reserve up to two Team Member rate rooms and two Family & Friends rate rooms at a time, for a total of up to four rooms per stay. The rooms can be booked for up to 7 consecutive nights.

How to Book with Go Hilton

1. Access the Go Hilton Website: All bookings for eligible team members as well as their authorized family and friends must each log in at the Go Hilton booking site with their own Hilton Honors sign-in and password to book and manage their reservations.
2. Link Your Hilton Honors Account: Ensure that your Hilton Honors account is linked to your Team Member profile.
3. Search for Availability: Use the flexible dates feature to find the best rates.

4. Select the Go Hilton Rate: Look for labels like “TMTP” (Team Member Travel Program) or “Family & Friends” when booking.

Maximizing Your Benefits: Tips and Tricks

• Book in Advance: Availability can be limited, especially during peak seasons. Booking well in advance increases your chances of securing a discounted rate.

• Be Flexible with Dates: If your preferred dates aren't available, try adjusting your search to see if other dates offer better availability. 

• Mix and Match Rates: If the TMTP rate isn't available for your entire stay, consider splitting your booking to take advantage of the discount for some nights.

• Check for Extra Rates: If you exceed your annual allocation, look for discounted Extra rates, which don't count toward your yearly limit. 

• Utilize the Hilton Honors App: Team Members and their authorized family/friends can also book travel through the Hilton Honors mobile app.

Important Restrictions to Keep in Mind

• Annual Limits: Team members are limited to 30 room nights per calendar year at team member rates and a further 70 room nights at the Family & Friends rates (total of 100 room nights).

• Stay Restrictions: Each stay booked by a team member can be for up to 7 consecutive nights at team member rates and up to 7 consecutive nights at family and friends rates (either concurrently or back-to-back for a maximum 14 night stay).

• No Booking at Work Location: You cannot book a stay at your work location.

• Leisure Travel Only: The program is intended for personal travel use only, not for business travel.
