Unlock Exclusive Marriott Hotel Savings: The Complete Guide to MMP Service

What is MMP Service?

MMP (Marriott Modified Partner Rate) is an exclusive employee discount program that provides significant savings on Marriott hotel stays worldwide. Often referred to as the "Explore Rate" or "Marriott Employee Discount," this service offers up to 50-80% off standard room rates at participating Marriott properties across all 37 hotel brands

Originally designed for Marriott employees and their immediate family members, MMP has become available through specialized travel services like LuxuryAscent, making these incredible discounts accessible to travelers who want to experience luxury accommodations at a fraction of the cost.

How MMP Works: Your Gateway to Hotel Savings

The MMP Authorization Process

The MMP system operates through a unique authorization form that serves as your key to unlocking employee-level discounts. Here's how the process works

Step 1: Obtain Your MMP Authorization Form
When you purchase MMP service, you receive a personalized PDF authorization form valid for 2 months from the date of issue. This form contains your name and serves as official documentation for your discount eligibility.

Step 2: Book Your Stay
Using the special MMP code, you can search and book discounted rates directly on Marriott's website. The booking process is straightforward:

  • Visit Marriott.com

  • Click "Find & Reserve"

  • Enter your destination and travel dates

  • Select "Special Rates" dropdown

  • Choose "Corporate/Promo/SET#" and enter "MMP"

  • Click "Find Hotels" to see discounted rates

Step 3: Check-in Requirements
At hotel check-in, you must present two items:

  • Valid photo identification (matching the name on the authorization form)

  • Your MMP authorization form (printed copy)
