Base Point Question
Checked my account today and have just over 100,000 base points so shoudl qualify for Diamond, called HH and they said that there are some base points showing from last year. I checked the HH activity and there are some points posted to the account on 1/1/10 for stay last couple of days in Dec but surely since they posted to the account in Jan (albiet the 1st day of the year) they count.
Can anyone clarify/comment
Thanks

The check out date matters, not when the points post. If you checked out in 2009 for those base points, they will count for last year even if they did not go into your account till this year.
Hilton is right in telling you they do not count for your status this year.

Cordelli is correct. You can't really predict when points will post, so checkout date is really on the only fair way for a hotel program to handle this.
Your frequent flyer miles count on the date of the flight, not the date when they actually post.
