2022 Marriott Employee Friends And Family Rates, Promo Code: MMP/MMF/MM4

By Gavin | September 16, 2022

I have previously introduced you to Hilton family and friends rates, which are very generous discounts, so don't miss them if you qualify. Similarly, 2022 Marriott also has employee and friends and family rates, which are not as strong as Hilton's, but still quite good. This rate is called Marriott friends and family, and the code is MMP/MMF/MM4.

Previously, when you used the employee and family and friends rates at Marriott, you did not have membership benefits and could not earn points or room nights. This was the same as a wasted stay without SNP for students who worked hard to keep their grades every year, so even if some students had the means to use these rates, they would rarely do so.

However, after 2019-11-25, Marriott employees can now participate in the Marriott Travel Plus frequent flyer program and are now eligible to use the employee rate and the friends and family rate for stays with points and room nights. This is excellent news for students in a position to do so.

The employee and family and friends rates are what Hilton calls them, and Marriott calls them "Explore Employee Rates" and "Explore Family and Friends Rates." The difference is that Hilton's employee rate is for the employee only, while Marriott's employee rate is for the employee and their immediate family.

Marriott Explore Rate

Use promo code MMP to check and book the Explore Employee Rate and the Explore Family & Friends Rate. Marriott employee discount offers a more significant discount than the family and friends rate.

The MM4 rate, also known as the "Explore More" rate, is usually available from the end of each year to the beginning of the following year and is considered a special Marriott employee hotel discount, with some hotels offering lower rates than the MMP rate. During standard times, MM4 and MMP rates are the same.

Terms of use for the Marriott Explore Staff Rate.

  • Applicable to Marriott employees, up to 2 rooms per night at this time.

  • For immediate family members of Marriott employees, including spouses, domestic partners, parents, parents-in-law, brothers, sisters, and children, up to a maximum of 1 room per night.

  • When booking the Explore Employee Rate, this rate is available for two rooms across all orders. (Example: If an employee books two rooms, the parents cannot book another room at the same hotel on the same date using the Friends and Family rate. If an employee books only 1 room, the parent can book 1 room at the same hotel on the same date.)

  • When staying at certain designated hotels, you may choose to donate $3 to the TakeCare Relief Foundation (TCRF), a non-profit charitable foundation that provides relief to employees affected by emergencies.

  • If a room is unavailable upon arrival after confirmation of the order, Marriott will arrange for an alternative hotel stay at the same rate.

How to Book the Marriott Employee and Friends & Family Rates

Booking the employee or family and friends rate is easy. Just enter the appropriate promo code when looking for a hotel.

Usually, all you need is the MMP code, and both the employee and family rates will be available. Between the end of the year and the beginning of the following year, you can try the MM4 code, and some hotels may have a cheaper "Explore More Rate."

If you can only use the Friends and Family rate, then use the MMF code so that hotels with only staff rates and no Friends and Family rates are not shown.

Note that it is up to the actual hotel whether they have the staff rate or the friends and family rate open.

How to get Marriott employee and family and friends rates

The 2022 year, all Marriott employees should have an Enterprise ID (EID). You can get one from Human Resources if you don't have one.

Then use the EID and password to log into Marriott's HR system at its Marriott employee hotel discounts login

https://extranet.marriott.com/hrtc

Once logged in, click "Discount Card & Room Form" and select Discount Program Request.

If the reservation is for an employee rate and the employee is staying in person, fill in the employee's name in the Name field and select "Discount Card" in the Discount Type field, then submit and print out the Discount Card.

If the reservation is for a friend or family member, select "Explore Rate Authorization Form" in the Discount Type field, fill in the name of the friend or family member in the Guest Name field, and submit and print out the Explore Rate Authorization Form. Rate the Authorization Form and print it out.

When checking in, employees must present their ID card, employee ID card, and Discount Card; friends and relatives must present their ID card and Explore Rate Authorization Form.

Conclusion

If you are a Marriott employee or an immediate family member, then there is no doubt that using the employee rate is the best option.

If you are a family member or friend of a Marriott employee, then you will need to weigh in. The Friends and Family rate does not offer many discounts, and you will need to bother someone to register it in the system, print the authorization form, and give it to you. Is it worth it to owe someone a favor for a small discount?

In addition, Marriott is very strict about qualifying for the employee and family/friend rates, so if you dare to use the employee rate like you used to use the agreement rate, you don't have to.
