The part about focusing on those who travel outside of Hilton is false. As I mentioned iny previous post, my boss, whom I travel with, was targeted and I was not.

My boss has not stayed in a non-Hilton hotel in 5+ years. He has over 975,000 HHonors points accrued.

How would Hilton, who's already infamous for their industry-leading IT department, even track HHonors' members stays outside of the brand?

i was targeted last year because i had been laid off, so my weekly stays stopped abruptly, and i cancelled several bookings--im sure they thought i had abandoned the brand.

That's about as lame a response as I've seen. I'm in a Hilton hotel almost every week. I'm not sure when they think I'm focusing travel outside of Hilton. :confused:

i asked with mail too reply was:

We appreciate your feedback and have shared your point of view with our management staff. This is not something that is financially feasible to offer to all of our members as it would limit the benefits that we currently are able to offer the various tier levels.

Given all those who have posted here to say they have not been targeted I am genuinely shocked I have considering I receive almost no email at all from Hilton except booking confirmations. I just tried to re-register and it says I'm already registered. If it wasn't for FT then I wouldn't have known about this promo and hence targeting me would have been a total waste of time.

would be curious to know what our flyertalk hilton spokespeople think:)

I'm more or less done with Hilton for a while. I will have enough stays in 2014 (a mix of revenue and award) to meet silver for 2015, due to stays while I was still Diamond in Q1 2014 and having no other options this summer, but there is no real incentive to earn Hilton Pesos since I'll continue as a silver for the foreseeable future.

PS if you couldn't tell, I didn't receive an email, though it's likely b/c I'll hit my silver re qualifying stay in a few weeks. My booking strategy now is award stays go to Hilton and revenue stays will be going to SPG.

I could have been wrong.

kmandrew Oct 19, 2014 7:29 pm

38 stays
66 nights

I did not get anything, last year I also did not get anything and called the DD and they put me on. I have around 7 stays booked for November - I'll call tomorrow and see if I get anywhere. I do my usual "I have been a Diamond for over 10 years in a row" thing and let everyone know if it gets anywhere.

I got the promo. 64 stays so far. Equal nights as well, but I think that's incorrect. 120,650 base points
