Alternatively retroclaim the miles afterwards.
Not everyone is having problems with this but some are. I have seen support emails sent to readers from Hilton HQ.
Also not clear if it works on reward nights ..... seems it may not.
You can also go to your reservation and edit it yourself.
For the reservations made before the signup
Under "ACTION" select View/Edit
Then under guest information you'll notice you are missing the travel partner - hit "Change"
Double check that your airline (and other info whilst you're at it) is correct
Confirm and it should now show up.
