Hilton Family And Friends 2025

Who Can Benefit from Hilton's Generous Travel Programs?

Are you curious about how Hilton employees can take advantage of incredible travel deals?

Do you wonder if there are ways for friends and family to access similar discounts?

This blog post will dive into the details of the Go Hilton Team Member Travel Program (TMTP) and Go Hilton Family & Friends program, revealing how these programs work and who can benefit from them.

Hilton Team Member Travel Program

To get the most out of Hilton's Family & Friends travel program, you need to understand how the Team Member Travel Program (TMTP) works.

Both the TMTP and the Family & Friends programs are part of a bigger plan announced in 2018 to improve employee benefits. These improvements also included longer parental leave for all employees and discounted hotel stays for everyone. The new Go Hilton program replaced an old system that required employees to ask their managers for permission to book rooms. Now, there's an online portal where team members can easily reserve any empty rooms.

Benefits of Being a Hilton Team Member

Reflecting these changes (among others) Hilton Hotels and Resorts now has a reputation as an employer of choice, as evidenced by many surveys including:

• DiversityInc ranked Hilton #1 on its2021 list of Top 50 Companies for Diversity.
• 2021 World’s Best Workplaces, No. 3– Fortune Magazine / Great Place to Work®
• 2020 World’s Best Workplaces, No. 2– Fortune Magazine / Great Place to Work®
• Fortune Best Companies to Work For® in the U.S. – #1
• Fortune 100 Best Companies to Work for List, #33, 2018
• Forbes World’s Most Reputable Companies, 2018
• Best Places to Work, #41, Glassdoor, 2018

Hiltoncontinues to work towards and is being recognized for its exceptional and resilient workplace culture and team member benefits.

In mid-January 2022, Hilton announced a new educational benefit designed to empower its team members to continue to learn, grow and thrive. Beginning inspring 2022, Hilton will provide its team members at U.S.-owned and managed properties with a best-in-class continuing education platform (through Guild Education) to help them pursue and attain their educational dreams.

In addition tothese new educational opportunities, Hilton already offers a comprehensive benefits package including mental well-being offerings, paid personal and parental leave, sabbaticals and GoHilton travel discounts.

GoHilton

The Hilton employee rates forstaff, family and friends of the company are very generous and among the best in the industry.

Hilton offers two dedicated programs to members of its "network":

• the Go Hilton Team Member Travel Program (TMTP);
• Go Hilton Family & Friends (FFTP).

Read on to learn more about what makes these Hilton programs so attractive and how even non-employees can get significant benefits.

Who Can Use Hilton Travel Programs?

Hilton Team Members

As a Hilton team member, whether full-time or part-time, you have access to exclusive discounts on hotel rooms at any Hilton property through the Hilton Team Member Travel Program. Joining is easy – simply sign up online.

Keep in mind these key program details:

• You cannot book a room at your own workplace.
• The program is designed for leisure travel only and not business trips.
• There's a limit of 100 discounted nights per year.

Friends and Family of Hilton Team Members

Anyone who is a friend or family member of a current Hilton team member can join the program too. Here's how: 1. Become a Hilton Honors member. You can learn more about this program on our website. 2. Get approved by a Hilton team member who is already part of the Team Member Travel Program.

Former Hilton Employees

Those with 10 to 20 years of service receive discounted rates for up to 70 nights per year, for life. Team members with 20 or more years of service enjoy the same benefits as current employees: discounted rates for up to 30 nights and Family & Friends rates for up to 70 nights per year, for life.

Here are a few important rules for former employee discounts:

• Discounts cannot be shared with friends or family.
• Former employees must be staying in the room to utilize the discount.
• A Hilton Honors account is still required to book reservations.
• All other Go Hilton booking rules apply.

Hotel Room Discounts

Two hotel discount programs, TMTP and Family and Friends, are part of your benefits package. Each program has a combined limit for all team members.

Here's how many room nights you can book each year:

• 30 room nights at the team member rate;
• 70 room nights at the Family & Friends rate (for a total of 100 room nights).

If you use Family & Friends room nights for approved guests, they count toward your 70 night limit.

There are some special rates called EXTRA Team Member and EXTRA Family & Friends. These don't count towards your yearly limit. Even if you're using most of your 100 nights, your approved guests can still use these extra offers.

Unfortunately, there will be fewer EXTRA rates available in 2022 that don't count towards your yearly limit.

Hilton TMTP Benefits

Accommodation

The TMTP program offers great deals on hotel rooms for employees. Rooms cost a fixed price per night (excluding resort fees, but including taxes) that is much lower than normal prices:

• US$75 for Waldorf Astoria and Conrad
• US$55 for Curio, Canopy, and Hilton Grand Vacations
• US$45 for Hilton Hotels & Resorts, Doubletree, Embassy Suites, and Tapestry
• US$35 for Hampton, Hilton Garden Inn, Homewood Suites, Home2 Suites, and Tru by Hilton.

Here are a few things to keep in mind:

1. Starting August 1, 2022, an extra US$1 per night will be donated to the Team Member Assistance Fund and Hilton Global Foundation.
2. Prices will increase by US$5 per night starting late September 2022. However, they will still be great deals.
3. Spouses and life partners can now book rooms under TMTP even if the team member isn't traveling with them. These bookings count towards the team member's 30-night limit. Previously, these bookings had to be made at a less generous rate.

These changes make TMTP a much better benefit for employees.

Hilton TMTP Rules

1. All bookings must be made on the Go Hilton website by the person staying at the hotel. Team members need to use their own Team Member Hilton Honors information, and approved Family & Friends should use their regular Hilton Honors information.
2. You can only use TMTP for leisure travel.
3. Team members can book up to two rooms at the team member rate and two rooms at the Hilton Honors friends and family rate (a total of four rooms) per stay.
4. Each stay booked by a team member can be for up to seven consecutive nights at the team member rate and up to seven consecutive nights at the friends and family rate (either at the same time or back-to-back for a maximum 14-night stay).
5. Team members can get the discounted rates at any Hilton property worldwide (subject to availability). However, you cannot book a room at your own workplace. Friends and family can book rooms at your workplace.

Food & Beverage

Team members booking under TMTP or Family & Friends programs also get 50% off food and drinks at restaurants managed by the same company as the hotel. The team member must be present, but the discount applies to a group of up to six people. This discount doesn't apply to minibars or room service. Additionally, in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa (EMEA), breakfast is included in the accommodation rate for all guests.

These are all great discounts!

Benefits of the Hilton Family and Friends Program

Accommodation

The Hilton Family and Friends program offers a 50% discount on the lowest advertised rate (the "Best Available Rate"). This means big savings for you!

Approved friends or family can book directly through a special online portal. You don't need to involve the team member who gave you the discount.

Just remember:

• The discount doesn't include breakfast.
• The discount might be slightly higher than 50% in some places because of local taxes.

Hilton TMTP Rules

• All bookings must be made by the guest staying at the hotel on the Go Hilton website. You need to use your own standard Hilton Honors account information.
• You can book up to two rooms using the Family & Friends rate per stay.
• Each stay can be for up to seven consecutive nights.

Important Note: Remember that your behavior reflects on the Hilton team member who gave you the discount. Being rude or causing trouble could lead to problems for them.

Food & Beverage

Friends and family who aren't team members don't get a discount on food and drinks, unless they are part of a group with a team member (check the TMTP rules above).

Hilton Honors

You can earn Hilton Honors points when you stay at most Hilton hotels using the Family & Friends rate. You'll earn at least 10 points for every dollar paid towards your room, which is fair considering the discount.

You also earn points on food and drinks (except room service). Bonus points for elite members are calculated based on the discounted room rate.

If you have elite status with Hilton Honors, your benefits should still apply even when you use the discount.

How Go Hilton Works

Team members can use Go Hilton to get discounted hotel stays for themselves and their loved ones. Here's how it works:

Joining Go Hilton

1. Make sure you have a Hilton Lobby User ID and a Team Member Hilton Honors account (or an Owners Hilton Honors account if you're an owner). If you don't, talk to your manager or Identity Management Property Administrator (IDM).
2. Go to the Go Hilton program page in the Hilton Lobby. You can find more information and start the registration process there.

Booking Stays

Once registered, you can use the Go Hilton portal to check availability and make reservations. You can also invite friends and family to join for discounted stays:

1. Your friends and family need a standard Hilton Honors account (or they should sign up quickly).
2. Registered team members can approve their friends and family for bookings made at the Family & Friends room rates.
3. Once linked to your account, your friends or family can book at the Family & Friends rates independently. These bookings count towards your annual limit.

Booking Tips

Here are some tips for getting the most out of Go Hilton:

• Use Flexible Dates: Check day-by-day availability to find the best rates for each night. This is helpful because sometimes only one night in a multiple-night stay has a discounted rate.
• Mix & Match Rates: If one rate isn't available, try another. The Team Member rate might not be available for consecutive nights, but the Family & Friends rate could work for other nights.
• Be Flexible: Book as far in advance as possible and check Go Hilton often. Inventory changes frequently, so more rooms might become available closer to your travel date.
• Mix It Up: If there are multiple Hilton hotels in your destination, consider splitting your stay between them to take advantage of lower rates across different brands.

Remember, bookings for both the TMTP and Family & Friends programs must be made through the dedicated Go Hilton portal.

Finding Hilton Hotel Rooms at Discounted Rates

Hilton offers discounted hotel rooms through its "GO Hilton" portal. You'll need to log in with your Hilton Honors account to see availability and make bookings.

Checking Room Availability

• Log into the GO Hilton website (also known as "The Lobby") using your Hilton Honors information.
• Look through the list of destinations or types of trips. In the top right corner of each property listing, you'll see what kind of availability they have: TMTP, F&F, or EXTRA.

Booking Your Discounted Room

• Log into the GO Hilton website with your Hilton Honors credentials.
• Find the hotel you want to stay at.
• Click on the listing to start your booking process. It's that simple!

Sometimes, hotels have extra rooms available for friends and family (EXTRA). These rooms don't count towards your yearly limit of 30 employee or 70 Friends & Family nights, but you still earn Hilton Honors points and status.

Keep in mind that since 2022, there are fewer EXTRA rates available.

What If There Are No Rooms Available?

If you can't find a hotel or room that works for you, you can still book directly through the GO Hilton portal using your Hilton Honors account, but without the discount. You could also try booking through our travel agency. We might be able to offer:

• A free upgrade to a better room category.
• Complimentary daily breakfast.
• Early check-in or late check-out.
• Double Hilton Honors points (the same as with Diamond tier status).

These perks might be even better than what you could get through GO Hilton, and you'll still earn your Hilton Honors points.
