As this year comes to a close, Hilton Honors has been focused on providing you, our loyal members, with increased flexibility, choice and control around their benefits – in recent months, that has included giving members more time to enjoy their status, benefits and Points by issuing another round of program extensions, as well as enhancing the space-available elite upgrade benefit by notifying members 72-hours in advance of arrival that they’ve received a complimentary room upgrade. And as we embark upon a new year, Hilton remains committed to delivering the best experience possible for its Hilton Honors members.

In July 2021, Hilton Honors began offering its elite Gold and Diamond members a complimentary Daily Food & Beverage Credit at luxury, lifestyle, full-service and Hilton Garden Inn hotels in the U.S., ranging from $10 to $25 per member, or $20 to $50 for two registered guests, per night, depending on the brand and property location.

Today, we are extending the credit into 2022 and beginning on Feb. 1, 2022, increasing the credit amounts across its lifestyle and full-service brands from $12 to $15 per night, and $15 to $18 per night in select markets, to provide members even greater value. The select markets include the cities of Boston, Chicago, District of Columbia, Key Largo, Key West, New York City and San Francisco, the County of Los Angeles and the state of Hawaii.

For additional information on the Daily F&B Credit extension, please visit the updated Daily F&B Credit FAQs.

Best Regards,

Still an absolutely terrible program.

* $10 at an HGI is a sham: just completed a stay at major city HGI - $10 gets you a cup of coffee and a side of toast. Doesn't cover a drink at the bar either.
* This system is absolute reporting nightmare for expense reporting systems that require itemized meal receipts. Transaction costs in admin to report aren't worth the benefit
* I've been told by hotels at check-in that "the credit can't be used for breakfast on check-out day"
* I have to audit my folio to ensure that the manual process has been done properly. More transaction costs for me.

I will continue to minimize my on-property food and beverage spend until this is ended. Maybe Hilton considers that a win.
