In July & August I began traveling for work with an associate from a major corporation. I always arranged for us to stay at Hilton's, but was unaware that he did not have a HHonors card. I want to set up an account for him (under the referal program), but before I call a VP of a major corporation about getting his information to set up a HHonors account for future trips I would like to have a little leverage... like I am going to sign you up for a program where you will be automatically Gold (you know the basic, "what's in it for me").
This guy travels a lot more then I do, and I would love to reep the rewards of his travel. How can I make instant rewards happen?
