Hilton HHonors - Need Advise on Booking 5 Rooms

I am booking and paying for 5 rooms but I will not be staying in any of the rooms. What is the best way of booking this to get the most points? Should I open a master account through the hotel directly or just book them online? BTW, I’ll be charging the rooms on my Hilton HHonors American Express card.

Thanks in advance.

Contact the hotel directly and try a negotiated group booking. That way you can negotiate the rate and any bonus points the hotel may give you. If you just book these as regular rooms you are not eligible to get any points, aside from what you will get from the credit card.
