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.

Does anyone know if this works for hotels in Japan (Conrad Tokyo and Conrad Osaka) which are more strict about the check in process and number of guests in the rooms? Thanks!

It worked for me at the Roku LXR in Kyoto, but not sure if it’ll be the same for other locations in Japan. I would just ask them to see if they’d allow the reservation to be checked in via 2nd guest. Doesn’t hurt to try!

Buying (3) FNA for use end of November 2025

(Sorry I’m very new to Hilton! Maybe this is too early to be looking for certificates? Should I try again in a few months? Thanks all)

It’ll be tough to find all 3 that doesn’t expire until November, but may as well try regardless! I would definitely advise looking alittle later, but could impact the hotel availability if it’s a location that runs out quickly.

Thank you so much! We have two adults and one child, but i realize with the second guest check in that would mean the hotel sees there are 4 people total assigned to the room, which will exceed room limits in Japan.

Did you have only two people in your party total (so that the hotel sees 3 total people?)

Has anyone checked-in as a 2nd guest in Huvafen Fushi Maldives?

I've swapped a night I had booked with points for someone else's FNC yesterday and received the following message from the hotel

"For Huvafen Fushi, please be advised that check-in is strictly reserved for registered Hilton members only. Bookings made on behalf of non-members, including friends and family, are not permitted.

If the registered member is not present at the time of check-in, the reservation will not be honored."

I mean, it seems pretty clear that they’re pretty strict and although it doesn’t specifically state that you can’t check in as a secondary guest, I wouldn’t want to risk it and experience it first hand.

We did only have two people in total, however, we did note that it will be us checking in rather than the primary guest, as they weren’t able to make it anymore.
