The FNC should work for anything that says "Standard Room Reward" on the rate, and not "Premium Room Reward".

The highest standard room is 150K there is no standard for 205K so you cant use FNC for that

If purchasing Hilton points, does it charge it as hotel (Hilton) or as a different charge?

Now that SLH is through Hilton. How does it work regarding 2nd guest check-in Internationally. With Hyatt it was no issue as the stay can be gifted

Dubai:
If I check-in as guest from a Hyatt globalist account or Hilton diamond account in a Dubai property, will the guest receive the Hyatt globalist/Hilton diamond  perks, such as room upgrades and free breakfast? Etc

Either cash rate or booking with points

Thanks

if a hotel has 30 day cancellation policy, does moving my reservation to a future date and then cancel trick work on points / rewards bookings?

If they let you change it, yes it should IINM

Does Hilton let you change reservations like Hyatt does? They always cancelled the reservation and rebooked for me when I called.

If there is basic redemption available, you can change the booking without any issue.
If it's not available, changing the booking won't help.

so you're saying even with hotels that has a 30 day cancel/refund policy, you can move a standard room reservation that's within that window (so unable to cancel for refund), to another standard room reservation months later and then cancel it for a refund?

No I wasn't talking about the 30 day window.
I was talking in general how Hilton processes changes

Which Hilton property in USA or PR (so no passport needed) can I get the most value out of a FNC, preferably within kosher food and children attraction nearby but not a must.

What type of stay? City? Beach?

if you really just care about value then on a pure cpp ratio its for sure topping rose amagansett. but just getting cpp is a silly reason to use(one the greatest fallacies). word of advice my friend, just go where you think you will have the best time

Anyone have information on this? will they allow the additional guest to check-in without the primary one there?

Pro tip: Hilton BMG certificates that expire can only be extended for one of two reasons, military draft or hospital stay of multiple months during the prior year.

If you ask, they allow the hospital stay of a close relative as well, and they don’t require proof. (A hospital stay of October 31 - November 1 is technically a stay of multiple months).

Does anyone have experience or a dp of checking in as a second guest in South America?

[shmooz]

I've got 10k Hilton points expiring soon, is there anything to do with them?
