But your post indicates making the booking on the HHonors web-site, like a Travelzoo corporate number? If you are able to book on the HHonors web-site, then the stay should count...now you have me second guessing myself. I still believe the answer is no.

I cannot recall if it is excluded or not... I think you're good to go (booked on Hilton.bomb using the promo code or corp. ID). I would call the Diamond desk to verify (or customer service if not HHD)...

A few people have reported receiving credit, others have been denied and when escalated Hilton Honors has refused credit as a 3rd party booking. See:
