Which upgrades more, Honors Diamond vs. amex platinum's Fine Hotels program?
Hi,
Not sure where to post this, hhonors or amex, so please forgive me if this is misplaced
I have both HH diamond and amex plat, which has this FHR program that gives space permitting upgrades. Does anyone know which is better for getting upgrades? I *assume* you can't really book with both and double your chances of upgrades, and that you have to either book through hilton directly with HH diamond or through FHR without HH diamond. If that's the case, which would you go with?
Thank you!

I've only tried this with Starwood hotels, not Hilton - but the FHR desk can add your loyalty program number to one of their reservations. Best of both worlds (although in my experience FHR treatment is better than any elite status)!

always have and still do; book FHR, get points and FHR welcome amenity and better chance at a great upgrade. Have booked Waldorf Astoria Palm Jumeirah three times this way in a base room and received upgrade to best available suite category all three times
