My next check-in could be March 5. According to Google, that is exactly 60 days after January 5. The Hilton Honors chat agent, however, told me that only stays until March 4 will be eligible - that's after he said it was February 4. I think he just used a calendar himself.

How does the HHonor computer calculate that?
This is the issue that comes up as to whether you count the first day of a promotion (is 5JAN day 1?) or do you start counting the day after. Would a stay on 5JAN count for the promotion? If so, the agent is correct. If you registered on 5JAN, imo a 60 day period within that registration date would end 4MAR.
