Hilton Master Thread

Hi first time using HH. on the site, its not showing me any points options. is it bec my point balance is 0? or is there something else? (when searching and i check off the points box, it just shows me the cash rate.

Check on top of the page. Most likely the rooms aren't available on points.

Any links to force the old site? New site never works for me when it comes to selecting rooms page.

I had some Hilton points transferred to my account on Thursday morning and it still hasn't shown up (almost 3 days)... I was told it takes 24 hours.
Any idea what's going on? Should I be worried?
Thanks in advance.

If someone can help me I'll really appreciate it.

I had points transferred into my account, but hasn't posted yet.
I need to book ASAP, is there a way to get Hilton to expedite or "loan me" some points?
Reps claim there is no way they can do that
Any ideas?

Is there a way to get Hilton to charge your CC at the time of booking,
and not when checking in, like airlines do?

Thanks!

Is it a hassle to cancel a free night certificate and get the certificate back?

Just cancel the reservation online.

Make a prepaid reservation. It’s usually cheaper too

I booked a room for my daughter and SIL at 2 different Hilton properties (Niagara Fallsview and Buffalo Doubletree) through my account. Should I be checking in online so she only needs to get the room card? Does that lose any upgrade possibilities?

Do either of those have kosher breakfast options?

If i buy Hilton points, does it code as travel?

Hilton confirmed to me that this applies to people that where status matched as well... Mine was due to expire in about 70days

Can someone recommend a great usage of points near LAX? I like to get the most bang for my buck (points) but also should be in a nicer setting etc.

Is it a new thing with Hilton that points only expire after 15 months of inactivity?
Or is it just temporarily for now?
I remember it used to expire after a year of no activity.

If anyone needs to be in Cabo during the pandemic, there's plenty of availability at Waldorf Astoria for only 99k per night (or 396k for 5 nights) through September.
