That could well be where your claims (and mine) keep falling down.

I've had a similar problem with the formatting, but all my miles always post correctly without requiring a claim.
Whenever I make a reservation on hilton.bomb, it will not let me complete a reservation without removing my BMI number first (it says the number is invalid), albeit the miles do post correctly even when I take the number out.

I've filed numerous support cases regarding this issue with Hilton but they appear to fall on deaf ears. A fix was not included in the most recent site redesign.
