Will Hilton Certs that expire 1/3/22 be extended?
I saw recently that Marriott had extended the expiration dates on Certs. I still have 2 certs that have been extended a few times and are now set to expire 1/3/22.
Has anyone heard any rumors that Hilton might extend them one last time? Would hate to lose them.

I’m in the same boat. I have great plans to travel Q1 and Q2 next year. I could burn the certificate this year, with a small local stay down the street, but it feels like a rather unenjoyable way to make value out of it. Even a small extension like Marriott recently tacked on would be so very appreciated!

I think people should just keep contacting hilton about this. Maybe they'll rethink it if there's a constant flow of complaint or inquiry for extension.
It's still not easy to travel right now. And considering all the risk (getting a positive PCR and missing flight home), Hilton expecting people to travel in the current condition is rather irresponsible and absurd.

I just made a booking for March 2022, I used up the two certs that I have set to expire in 07/2022 and 12/2022. I asked if I could use the 01/03/2022 cert and I was told flat out no. Oh well. I will wait and see if Hilton officially extends it or if there are datapoints of successful extensions, otherwise I will just find some staycation to use it for.

Maybe I'll figure something out for December but was hoping they would extend one last time till summer of 2022. OH WELL such a waste.......

I called in to use a certificate with a 12/31/22 expiration date. Since I had two others that were expiring 1/2/22, I asked if I could use all 3 for a reservation in late February. The agent put me on hold for a few minutes twice (once for each of the two expiring certificates) and got them extended to the end of February.

I don't trust them not to screw it up. Be a disaster to arrive at the hotel and they won't honor the certs.
At least with the other chains you can see your certs in your account, but with Hilton you have to trust them unless you have the email

Did you get an email or something with the revised date?

And yes, my two certificates (that previously expired on 1/2/22) show up correctly with the new expiration date of 2/28/22.
