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.

I was wondering how do I find out if I can use the cert at a spec hotel.  Is there a cap on which hotel? thanks!

You need standard award rooms. not premium. I believe all hotels work

Wanted to offer my experience with extension although its similar to others:

It can be done but very YMMV based on rep. HUCA.

Amex cant do anything no matter what Hilton says.

They'll give you different reasons why they can't or can only extend until x. None of it actually makes sense. YMMV HUCA

As an example: Have 2 certs. I asked to extend (exp Oct 7) 1st rep gave me 30 days and said he cant do more, but I should calll back and speak to a different rep. Called back and 2nd rep extended it through 12/31. Couldn't extend other because it was "too far out" but it actually was the same as the cert extended. Go figure this out...

Just curious, do you have Diamond status?  I’ve been trying to do the same as Gold and haven’t been able to get it extended by any CSRs.
