So bit of a back story here. Back in October I had a near-$1000 stay at the most awful HI I've ever stayed in. Barely edible food, bad hotel, etc. I complained to Hilton and they offered a refund of one night's stay as compensation, which I accepted.

Now the issue is I never received the check. About 8 weeks after they said they sent it, I called to say I never received it and asked them to re-issue and re-send it. This was at the beginning of January.

So nearly two months has gone by, they haven't contacted me once regarding the status of this and when I call, they say "oh I'm so sorry, let me look into this and get back to you" - which they never do - or one CSR I got was extremely defensive and rude and told me it could take months to sort this out, which I believe is BS. It does not take months to track a check in this age. I've even emailed a supervisor in the Dallas office who I spoke to once, she said she'd get back to me within a couple of days nearly a week ago. I have no confidence that she'll get back to me since she failed to do so the first time I spoke to her.

So FTers, have any of you been in a similar situation? I'm still Diamond for another month or two or whatever, if that helps at all. This situation has a Customer Service file number assigned and I've dutifully logged the dates of all my calls (even though they say they have no record of at least one of those calls). I have an upcoming stay in a couple weeks but I'm ready to cancel it and book an SPG hotel out of spite.
Since you stayed at HI, why not complained when you checked out and point to the 100% satisfaction guaranteed ? If you did that right there you would have saved yourself all the trouble afterwards.
