You generally will not get airline miles, rental car miles and Gold/Diamond bonus points with award stays. All charges will appear as base points only.
Look at your stay details on the website if the rate plan says HH you generally will not get any airline/bonus miles.
There are however some instances where the award stay will show up under another plan code (most likely when its faxed or called in to the HHonors center) and you will get points, but if your plan says HH dont bother to a waste your time calling in to get bonus points.

Thanks, boys, especially Mike for HH Code Deciphering 101

My plan code is HH for one stay and PS (pointsaver?) for the other, so can I assume that on a
paid stay, a different plan code will be posted and that will trigger the double-dip miles award & bonus, no problem?
BTW, Mike ~ just to add to my interesting lesson, do you know why a code of HH (presumably Hilton Honors for awards) would generate
any points at all and where would Hilton get the amount from (half of the quoted room rate in the reservation confirmation)? Thank you again...
