You have obviously worked out booking without status, and trying at checkin, 'oh but my husband who is not traveling is a Diamond' , will not result in elite benefits.

As such you ring totally false with statements such as "why we shouldn't book and pay using his Diamond status details (status reached from staying no less than 250 nights a year)" and "If Hilton wish to afford me any of his benefits they will be gratefully received. If not then so be it.". This really shows DYKWIA viewpoint, you seem to want special treatment based on Husbands HHD status versus lack of status yourself.

Hilton does not allow 'Shared Accounts', it is against HH t+c's and deliberately following such practise can and has resulted in Hilton closing accounts with forfeiture of account points.

The only reason to do the above, book your stay under Husbands is twofold

1. Husband to obtain night credits and points for a stay he is not making AND is not entitled to under HH t+c's

2. You are obviously intending for hotel to incorrectly provide HHD benefits to yourself when the HHD member is not occupying the room and worse never intended to AND making a selfish deliberate attempt to pressure hotel to give you Diamond bennefits by pointing hotel at Husbands status and stay count.

You Stated " I certainly will not be demanding any perks and will not be dishonest in my dealings with them in any way."

Booking under Husbands account in first place when Husband is not traveling is a dishonest action in itself. You have already contradicted your first statement and shown you are not truthful.


...... Unless you have intent to voluntary inform hotel at checkin without being asked, that you are traveling solo without your husband.... then
You possibly either hope to checkin by deceit with what is termed "Lying by ommission" by not mentioning husband is not coming, or if asked by hotel "Say your husband will be arriving later"

If you really have that correct intent to be totally honest and tell hotel your husband is not coming AND was never coming in the first place, during your checkin, then your husbands HH account number will be removed from the booking and Husband will accrue zero nights/points and you will likely get no HHD benefits by right.
If you are going to be totally honest, then you should not book under Husband in first place

Be aware that 'Sharing Accounts' even by couples (Married or not) is against HH t+c's. Hilton can and have closed such accounts, and your Husband could lose his account, his points balance, and by the sound of it his nights stayed investment towards Lifetime Diamond.

Yes you may get away with it but there are risks, increased by being an alien in a foreign country, especially in Middle East country such as Dubai where women are treated as second class (or worse) citizens and you'll be such an unaccompanied female.
