Age 50.

But they don't verify.

Try MVP codes instead of AARP.

There is a way.

Log into your account, go to My Profile / Personal Information. Scroll down to "Special Accounts and Rates". Enter your AAA and AARP numbers in the boxes provided. And make any other changes so desired.

Then scroll to the bottom and hit "Save Changes".

That should do the trick.

I've only done that about 50 times in the last 3 years. And every time I ask the Diamond Desk , they say oh yes we know that but the IT department seems unable to fix it.

JOKE

Very Funny. I may have to join that group after dealing with the Useless Hilton Website!!

"I'm not a robot" AND then Captcha, so an extra step for me. I'm losing ground steadily here. (At least its the numeric Captcha which I can always read as opposed to the indecipherable text Captchas.)

It varies for me with each login - "robot only," then "robot/captcha," then "robot only." what next?

I'm now having to go through the extra step of clicking the "I'm not a robot" box. I still then get a captcha and now it's a difficult to read two-word one, rather than the street number version. So, it's an extra step and it's more difficult in that I typically have to refresh the captcha a few times until I get one that I can actually read.

Hilton IT people - there has to be a better way to secure your site. Millions of other commercial websites have figured this out. A good first step, perhaps, is to drop the ability to log in with the 4-digit PIN number. Why is this even still an option?

cblaisd Dec 20, 2014 7:55 am

  • Chrome: New two-word version that is utterly unreadable.
  • FF: No captcha at all, but it appears there is supposed to be one because I keep getting an error message telling me to do the captcha
  • IE: Just the "I am not a robot" box


So, I'm being forced to use the least secure browser to to login.

Well-done, Hilton.

I'm so happy I'm retired and have the extra second to click that I'm not a robot.

It would have been funnier if they had worded it "I...am...not...a...robot".

Safari on iPad: once you check that you're not a robot it pops up a numerical Captcha, you enter and hit Verify at which point it apparently believes you're not a robot. What's the point in this extra step?

dave1013 Dec 20, 2014 8:53 am

I posted that recmomendation because it has worked without failure for me for the last six months. And I make a lot of Hilton reservations.

YMDV (your mileage did vary)

Eujeanie Dec 20, 2014 9:52 am

Sometimes I get the robot question, sometimes the numbers, sometimes both.

I'm just happy I still get the numbers instead of the Dali-esque melting non-words.

If it stops my account from being hacked, I'm happy with the extra few seconds.

controller1 Dec 20, 2014 10:01 am

Still no Captcha, only the robot question. Using Safari.
