Topic Wiki

Certificates may be redeemed at any Hilton category, including the most prestigious properties such as The Waldorf Jerusalem and The Waldorf Maldives, provided that "Standard Room Reward" availability is present. It should be noted that securing standard room availability at high-category properties, particularly during peak periods, may be quite challenging or even impossible.

To obtain a certificate, the certificate holder typically initiates the process by calling to make a reservation under their name. Subsequently, the certificate buyer is added as a second check-in guest. However, it is important to note that this approach is generally not favored by hotels. As such, it is advisable to approach the process with tact to ensure a smooth experience.

These days it only shows up as points, even if you use a certificate. The only way to know is if you see the certificate in your account or if the points balance goes down.

Booked a night for mlardi but Hiltons confirmation email states it as a points booking (as opposed to explicitly calling it a FNC booking) when I booked via the FNC on my account - has anyone seen the same DP? FNC no longer appears in my account and my points balance is the same as it was before - so clearly the FNC was used

Payment has been held off for over 3 hrs because of this weird glitch  and I’m trying to ensure everything gets sorted asap - anyone have any insights in how Hilton codes these things? Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the confirmation! @mlardi - please note and release payment

EDIT: Payment received after this post. Thanks for the trade

A couple newbie questions (I'm usually a marriott guy!)
1) I know it has to be a standard room redemption, but can it be any point amount or only up to 95k? I see some standard redemptions at 110k points, wondering if those would work
2) I'm assuming it is best practice to get all nights in 1 stay from the same account. i.e.: if I'm staying 2 nights in a row at a hotel, it is suspicious if 1 is coming from Account ABC and 1 is coming from Account XYZ.  So if I'm wanting a 3 night stay, I need to find 3 nights all bought from the same person in 1 transaction.
3) what is best practice on verification / when payment is made between the 2 people.

Thanks so much for any help, excited to work on this for an upcoming long weekend!

Selling 3* Hilton FNC that expires on 2/16. Asking for $600. I can verify my identity by video chat/Linkedin/website etc. PM or Text message at 612-423-2410. No scammer guarantee:) Thank you! :) :)
I do not believe a @Tino is a scammer, however after some back and forth trying to purchase from him (via Paypal), he tried changing his price from $600 back to $750. So I guess the asking price is now $750?

I do not believe he is a scammer because he would've taken my $600 and ran if he could.. However, I do not believe that it is very honest to switch prices once I was finalizing booking details..

Yeah, didn’t look like someone who dropped from $900 to $750 to $600 in 4 days is someone I’d like to deal with.
