Maximise your Avios, air miles and hotel points

Here is a 30%-40% discount code for Hilton Group hotels

Links on Head for Points may support the site by paying a commission.  See here for all partner links.

There are lots of corporate discount codes for hotel chains available online if you search.  The reason they are not heavily publicised is that you shouldn’t be using them.

Some hotels are very strict, especially on deep discounts, and will want to see corporate ID.  The risk of being challenged increases on those trips where you really don’t want to be challenged, ie when travelling with family or partner.

Apart from literally one occasion about 8 years ago, I have never used corporate codes for companies where I had no association.  (As it happens, I retain a security pass and business cards for a major bank where I once worked, so I will occasionally use their code as I have the ID.)

The code outlined here is less risky, though.  Hilton Group has something called Corporate Benefit Partner Rate.  This is offered to clients of various companies with whom Hilton has a link of some sort.  The same code is used by hundreds of different companies to book rooms.

The code is PR13CB.  You need to book via the normal Hilton website here.  Once you start typing, an extra box open up which allows you to add a rate code in the ‘Promotional / Offer Code’ box.  This is where you type it.

If you have a play around with this code, you will see some interesting discounts appear.

For Monday 28th April, for example, the Hilton Park Lane in London is £184 vs £230 for a non-refundable Advanced Purchase Rate (PR13CB is also non-refundable.)  Hilton Canary Wharf (a pleasant new build) is £207 vs £259.  And so on.

It is up to you whether you are happy to book this rate or not, although you will see that the rate rules do not state any eligibility requirement.Not all hotels participate in any event, and the rate is also often withdrawn during Hilton sales.

    What is the public sector code / link again…? This would combine nicely with the AMEX £50 off £250+ promo

    • Kipto says:

      PR11PN

    • flieduk says:

      Does Marriott have any good codes. All I can find is IBM’s and thats not too good for the hotels im looking at

  • Letsfly says:

    Is this pre-paid?

    • Rob says:

      Historically it wasn’t but it has drifted, at a lot of places, into a pre-paid rate.

  • Chilibenny says:

    Slightly off topic but does anyone know if you can get points using your Hyatt Gold Passport number if it has been booked by work? I have four nights at the Hyatt in Birmingham coming up but I haven’t booked direct myself. I ask because IHG are normally fine even if not in my name and one te they didn’t I rang up and they changed it to a qualifying stay.

    • Rob says:

      Fine if booked by a corporate travel agent for you to pay. NOT fine – as my wife found out in Korea last week – if you are booked as part of a group booking where the bill is paid centrally by another company.

  • TimS says:

    I tried the code for hotels in NYC and San Francisco — it actually made the price WORSE !

  • Dave B says:

    PR11PN is a public sector code which works typically at a 40% discount but includes breakfast. The code generally works in the UK and much of Europe. Valid ID is officially required. I am a government employee so have ID but am very rarely asked for it. I do earn HHonors points also on these stays. Check out http://www.hiltonpublicsector.co.uk

  • Don says:

    Does anyone know any miles bonus deals to combine with HHonors? Given variable is total crap I’ve gone to points + points.

  • Don says:

    Two hotels I regularly stay at have just stopped PR13CB altogether, because its too ‘publicized’.

    • flieduk says:

      Always a fine balancing act that Raffles has to follow

      • Don says:

        Also gone from many German hotels. DUS was showing PR11PN and PR13CB. Both stopped in the past week.
