AAA rate and Honors points?

Stupid question, if I book through the Hilton Site and get the AAA rate - do I still qualify for Hhonors points? I know if I do a group rate (for an event) or a third party site I do not.

Thanks

AAA rates definitely count towards points, over 80% of my stays are AAA rate

I've never had a group rate fail to earn points/stay credit; I think once or twice I had to call the DD to get them posted, but it was handled quickly.

really? I have a group stay from a work party that is on my account but zero points, although it was last december, probably too late to call and ask

Did you book your room directly with Hilton or did you book it through someone else -- e.g. a tour that included hotel rooms.

In addition was it a group billing paid for by the company?
12.A Member whose individual hotel bill is billed directly to a company and the Member is responsible for authorization for settlement at check-out is eligible for HHonors Points as described herein. However, group master-billing arrangements where charges for multiple rooms are placed on one hotel bill and billed to a company or common address or settled at check-out by one individual are not eligible for HHonors Points. Incidental charges (those charged to a Member's room) paid for directly by the Member at check-out are eligible for point credit. Incidental charges billed to a master bill are not eligible for point credit.

AAA rates get points.

Group rates do too, if you pay for your own room on an individual folio. At least, that's the way it has worked for me the last few dozen times. (Some years ago, when my company was picking up the room, putting a small charge on the folio that I paid get me credit for the night.)

AA rates qualify for Hilton HHonors points. The main thing to make certain to know is that only bookings made on Hilton.com or via Hilton phone reservations will earn points.

So don't book through the AAA web site.
