Retroactive Credit: Earning Points for Stays BEFORE Joining Hilton Honors?

I am just wondering if I just joined HHonours, can I get credit for previous stays?

Regards,
Empress

Empress, Hilton does allow retroactive credit within 30 days of your stay. All you need to do is send in your bill to the HHonors Service Center.

Question About HHonors Points

Fellow FlyerTalkers,

My wife stayed @ a Hilton in Oklahoma in April 2000, and was not a member of HHonors, but did earn 500 TWA miles. It wasn't a 50% off Rate that she had.

Is it possible for her to get HHonors Points for this April 2000 stay?

My thanks in advance for your feedback and help.

If she was not a member or did not sign up during the stay she is out of luck. They don't do retroactive points. Sorry

Retroactive Credit - Pleasantly Surprised

I have recently enrolled in HH, but eight weeks prior, stayed at an Embassy Suites. Searched and read some earlier posts on retro credit being limited to 30 days. I sent an e-mail to find out, and got a quick response that said there is a 12 month period for claiming points and miles (or back to April 2000 for the new properties).

I recently had a similar experience, receiving the same prompt reply. However, I am still waiting for the credit to post.

Retroactive credit for stays

I recently joined HHonors and have noted that I need 4 stays in a calendar year to earn Silver VIP status. Does anyone have experience of having stays undertaken before joining the programme, but within the calendar year, credited to obtain higher status?

ivanb -- You can skip Silver and receive instant Gold status by calling HHonors and quoting the EWRDC promotion.

Hi,

Yes it is probably too late. I think for new members they will alow a stay up to 1 month prior to joining abd for existing members, 6 months after a stay.

Howdy,

I'd waste the minute to make the phone call personally. I've found HHonors people to be very accomodating. I wouldn't expect they'd do it, seems like a very long time ... but can't hurt to ask.

Wait a second... don't call them, enter your info online and I pretty much guarantee that you'll get the points...

I just started staying predominantly at HH properties in Dec-2001... just a few weeks ago I found some old Hampton Inn receipts and submitted them... within a few weeks they posted to my account... The stays were from May and August 2001.
