Will Hilton's booking engine and inventory management programs allow this? I don't care if I get points for the transitory stay.
Thanks!
From reading other similar experiences on Flyertalk, it certainly can be done. However, if you book the one night stay in your name and Honors number, you will get the points and stay credit for that one night stay. When you later check out of your longer suite stay, the system may not award you the nights and much larger stay credits as you have already received a credit for one of those nights. You then have to start contacting Hilton Honors to try and resolve in order to get the points for the longer stay. As stated above, probably easier to book on 3rd party website or Hilton site without your Honors account number.
