Welcome to the world of exclusive travel benefits! If you've ever heard about the amazing discounts Marriott employees and their loved ones receive, you're likely curious about the "how." You've come to the right place. This guide is designed to walk you through the entire process of obtaining and using the Marriott MMP form, a key to unlocking these fantastic perks.
The Marriott MMP Form: What is it, and Why Do You Need It?
First, let's clarify what the MMP form is. The MMP form is officially known as the Marriott Explore Program Authorization Form. The "MMP" code stands for "Marriott Explore Rate," which is the special discount rate for employees and their immediate family members. It's a formal document that a Marriott employee generates to authorize a specific person (either themselves, a family member, or a friend) to receive a discounted rate at a participating Marriott hotel.
Why is this form so important? Because it's your official pass. You can't just book a room with the MMP code and show up. At check-in, the hotel front desk staff will ask for this form, along with your photo ID, to verify your eligibility for the discounted rate. Without it, you run the risk of your reservation being switched to the standard, non-discounted rate.

| How Do I Get A Marriott Mmp Form |
Step 1: Get to Know Your Marriott Connection
The most crucial step in this entire process is having a connection to a Marriott employee. The MMP program is an employee benefit, and the form can only be generated by a current Marriott employee.
Are you an immediate family member? This includes your spouse, domestic partner, children, and parents.
Are you a friend of a Marriott employee? Marriott also offers a similar, but distinct, "Explore Friends Rate" (MMF code) for friends and non-immediate family members. The process for obtaining the form is similar.
Don't know a Marriott employee? If you don't have a direct connection, you will not be able to get an official, valid MMP form. Be wary of online services or individuals who claim they can sell you a form—these are often fraudulent and can lead to serious consequences, including getting banned from Marriott's programs and properties. The employee who generated the form could also face disciplinary action, up to and including termination.
Engage with your connection! The best way to start is by having a direct conversation with the Marriott employee you know. They are the only ones who can initiate this process for you. Be polite, be thankful, and be sure to ask them about the rules and etiquette associated with using the program.
Step 2: The Employee's Role - Generating the Form
This step is entirely for the Marriott employee. They will be responsible for creating and providing you with the form. Here's a breakdown of what they need to do:
Tip: Don’t skip the details — they matter.
Accessing the Employee Portal
The employee must access an internal Marriott website, often referred to as mHUB or a similar employee portal. They will log in with their Enterprise ID (EID) and password. This is a secure, internal platform where they manage their benefits.
Navigating to the Discounts Section
Once logged in, they will navigate to the "Explore Discounts" section. The exact path may vary slightly, but it's typically found under a "Benefits" or "Travel" tab.
Selecting the Correct Form
For an employee's personal travel or for an immediate family member: They will select the option to print an "Explore Program Authorization Form" for the MMP rate.
For a friend or non-immediate family member: They will need to first add the guest's name to their account and then generate the "Explore Friends Rate" (MMF) authorization form.
Filling Out and Printing the Form
The system will prompt the employee to enter specific details, including:
Tip: Reread complex ideas to fully understand them.
The guest's full name.
The employee's name and ID number.
The dates of the stay (for some versions of the form).
The name and location of the hotel.
After generating the form, it will be available as a PDF document. They can then print it out or, more commonly, save it and email it to you. It is critical that the form is completely and accurately filled out.
Step 3: Your Role - Booking the Reservation
Once you have the form, you're ready to book your discounted stay. This is a straightforward process:
Booking Online or via the App
The Explore Rate can only be booked through official Marriott channels:

Marriott.com
The Marriott Bonvoy App
Phone reservations are not accepted for this rate.
Applying the Special Rate Code
When searching for a hotel, you will need to:
Tip: Don’t skim — absorb.
Enter your destination and travel dates.
Look for the "Special Rates" or "Corporate/Promotional Code" field.
Enter the correct code:
For the employee and immediate family rate, enter: MMP
For the friends and family rate, enter: MMF
Search for available rooms. The discounted rates will appear in the search results if available at that property for your dates. Please note: availability can be limited, especially during peak seasons.
Important: The reservation must be made in the name of the guest who will be checking in, and that name must match the name on the MMP form and their photo ID.
Step 4: The Final Check - At the Hotel
This is the moment of truth. To ensure a smooth check-in process, you must be prepared.
What to Have Ready
The MMP/Explore Program Authorization Form: Make sure you have the physical copy of the form provided by the employee. Some hotels may accept a digital copy, but it is always safer to have a printed version.
Your Photo ID: The name on your photo ID must match the name on the reservation and the authorization form.
Your Credit Card: For payment and incidentals.
Presenting the Form at the Front Desk
When you check in, hand your form and photo ID to the front desk agent. They will verify the information and the validity of the form in their system. The front desk staff will likely keep the form for their records.
Congratulations! You've successfully navigated the process and are now ready to enjoy your discounted stay. Remember to be a respectful guest, as your behavior reflects on the employee who sponsored you.
QuickTip: Stop to think as you go.
