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.

With Marriott You can only have the guest stay as the 2nd person on the reservation. with Hilton it's possible to change the guest to be primary.
How? Ask? Or some trick?

Just PUTPAC and say you want to book for a friend. No tricks and no need to change the reservation.
Same with Hyatt by the way.

Would diamond benefits still apply if guest is primary and not a diamond member?

I sure was, and multiple other people that I helped book. There were upgrades, drink certificates and personal welcome letters in the name of the third party that was booked as the primary guest. The account holders name was nowhere on the reservation.
