I called the Hilton Hhonors diamond desk to make some modifications to my profile and the credit cards that were in them. At the end of the call the agent said I qualified for 500 free Hhonors points if she transferred me. I said OK and let her transfer me.

I was then proceeded to be given a sales pitch about vacation destinations. I had a choice between New York, Las Vegas, Hawaii. The gentleman “selling me” then went on to explain that this was some special package, and for only $499 I could get a “suite” at an exclusive Hilton resort and a free cruise. Then he asked me to pay the $499 and asked what credit card I wanted to use. I said no I didn’t want to pay for anything. He then started using high pressure sales tactics on me. He continued to keep me on the phone going on diatribes, and doing whatever it took to keep me on the phone asking me questions about anything, even though I continued to say no I’m not buying anything. He kept asking me questions and it felt like I was being sold by Stratton Oakmont for some penny stocks. He refused to just drop it and let me go, until finally I just hung up.

I could not believe a simple call to the diamond Desk to help with my profile turned into some high pressure sales tactic effort to get me to buy something from Hilton. Outrageous.
