They finally gave me the 3rd certificate, about 3 weeks after my stay, so they are slowly working on them it seems. The date on the cert extends to April 6th of next year (based on date of issuance), so that's good news for those waiting on their cert's still.
Oh, and I received it via email.

Can't combine Q3FN with Advance Purchase rate
I'm fairly new to Hilton, but earned a free night in the Q1 promo. I'm now trying to book my first night with Reward cert and then pay for the 2nd night out of pocket with the advance purchase rate. Rep says I can't combine reward & advance purchase rate, that I have to book refundable room rate(that's over $100 more) Is this right and is there anyone around it? (like booking them separately?)

Yes you can book the award room for one night and then make a separate reservation for the next night using the advance purchase. I've done this before and you shouldn't have any problem. I always call the hotel in advance to let them know I have 2 separate reservations. They usually combine them for me, and I've never had to check out and back in or switch rooms.

I too here appreciate the longer exp date, but it won't affect my usage much because I feel that the best way to gain their value is to go on a 3 day vacation and use them in a fancy hotel. I was thinking about hitting NY @ new years.

The reward stays were explicitly excluded from the q1 promo. No ambiguity or sneakiness. It was listed with the excluded codes and mentioned multiple times on this forum. Can't really blame Hilton for your lack of reading the rules.
Each promo has it owns set of T&C. You must read each promo's T&C. To paraphrase the brokerages, past promo rules don't predict future promo rules.

Can I Let My Wife Use a Q3FN (Q1) Certificate if I am Not Going?
The Diamond Desk says no so I assume not. Is it in the T&C?
I currently have a 2009 points reservation, but it is in my name - they won't let me switch to her name without increasing to the new point values.
Could I do an online check in and have her show her ID - same last name.
Any help is appreciated, I know the answer is likely in the forum but I couldn't find it.

Update from OP
I called back and asked another DD person and she said she could transfer me to a Supervisor and get the Cert remade in my wife's name - I did not pursue as things are not finalized.
Has anyone done this?

Sorry if this has been covered already.
I received 3 certificates in Feb-Mar this year, and would like to use them now for a trip to NY. However, my company installed a new archiving system for the mails, and since then I cannot access these certificates.
Is it possible to call HH and make a reservation for these certificates anyway, or do I need to chase the IT department in order to use them?
Cheers,
s
