I recently had a 2x points stay at the Boston Logan Hilton where I didn't receive my folio and also didn't receive my points in my Honors account. When I first contacted support via the website, after the 2 week waiting period, I received this response: "We are unable to process this request as the room rate paid is ineligible for Honors points, miles, stay/night credit as well as promotional bonuses". The rate types they went on to list were all rates using 3rd party sites such as Expedia. It took 3 follow-up emails to get the problem resolved.

Sigh...ok. I go to chat, explain the issue. I'm on for 15 bloody minutes.
And then I get this...

'As I can see your reservation is already post and case is in progress. I request you to please contact our dedicated Hilton honors help desk team they will assist you in real time. I will share contact details with you.

And then he signs off...

As has been noted in this forum numerous times, use Twitter DM. Chat is useless.

Chasing points

I am so tired trying to get my points these days.
Why is it so difficult? It should be automatic.
Is Hilton's system deliberately making it difficult.?

Recently I asked for my points in a $400 night in LaGuardia NY. (Activity zero points according to my activity.. I mean how can a stay have 'zero points' ever??)
So, on email, the agent sent me a summary for points in Long Island, where I.v e never been'


I am so tired....

Why are you using email when advice provided in this forum consistently indicates that Xdm is by far the most efficient resolution channel? You’re just setting yourself up for frustration by doing things the old way.

Yep.

1. Twitter DM
2. Chat functionality on website
3. Call
.

.
z. Email.

Even the website has a “credit for missing stay” page. That is better than email.

100% of my stays credit automatically and correctly. Anything unusual with your stays?

What is their reasoning for denying the points posting?

Missing points

I'm travelling a lot these days and getting tired of checking my account and seeing '0 Points' for a stay.
Then trying to call the hotel and CS and getting nowhere.

Is this just par for the course?
Best to give up?

Twitter is the best customer service outlet at the moment.

The chat function is passable.

Calling in is as bad as email support and should be avoided.

How often are you missing points? I have 60+ stays in the last 12 months and can’t think of a single time I’ve had to reach out about missing points.

Chat is awful. X is only viable contact option IME. Youre wasting your time calling the property or HH. I stay 1-3x a week and have no problems with points appearing at the latest midday of the day following checkout.

Two relevant questions
  • Are you booking through an ineligible channel that doesn't earn points?
  • Are you checking too soon after checkout before the points actually display?

Over the past couple of years, my points almost always appears the day after checking out. This wasn’t always the case in the past but it seems pretty consistent these days.

Anyone else experiencing a delay in receiving bonused AMEX spending?

For the October statement, I received the base points, bonused restaurant spending, but did not receive the bonused grocery store spending. I called AMEX and they said the points are "pending".
