New Procedure For Earning Bonus Hilton Honors Points for Car Rental
Has anyone else noticed that you no longer get the 250 point bonus for telling the Hilton Desk Agent to select "National" as your car rental bonus? I went into my account and looked back on my stays and it appears that this quit last September. Haven't noticed until now but it was a nice little "side benefit."

seems TY Thrifty is the only company you still get the credit by telling them at check-in. I guess I will be renting from TY all the time for now on. Too bad since at times Alamo used to get 500 pts. But then every 16th rental with TY = 1 free day, which is good when doing a MR and staying somewhere overnight
seems in order to get the credit otherwise you must Hiltons corp code but then I wont beable to use any other that gives a nice discount

had 2 stays this past weekend (different Hotels like anyone thought otherwise) the 1st hotel didnt appear but the 2nd one did, so I called HH and walking them thru it but I got the 250 for the night it was missing, good thing I had a Thrifty rental otherwise they probably would have told me to deal with the Rental car company for the credit, who needs that
so if you will be staying at a Hilton prop seems Thrifty is the way to go , you get whatever discount on the rental and only have to deal with HH for any missing credit

Hmm, just realized that I had 2 stays post without the NA points. What is going on? It's still on the Hilton systems at check in.
Anyone having luck getting these posted by calling the DD? Any clarification there?

Back in September after the change was made--and I didn't know it; the Honors Web site still had the instructions to show your key at check-in--I showed my rental key at check-in at three hotels on one trip. Points didn't post, so I called Hhonors. (Wasn't diamond back then.) The CS rep manually posted 250 points three times but said that wouldn't happen again. Haven't tried since.

You will need to provide your HHonors account number to the reservation agent with National when securing your car rental. National send us a weekly file of members to credit.
Thanks,
