The complimentary Daily F&B Credit is intended to cover up to two guests, which includes the Hilton Honors member and one additional guest registered to the same room (on one room per stay), per night.
16. Can the Hilton Honors Daily F&B Credit be utilized across multiple outlets within a day?
The Hilton Honors complimentary Daily F&B Credit can be utilized across multiple outlets within one day. It will be automatically applied against all eligible F&B charges made within that timeframe, up to the total daily credit amount.
17. If members do not have F&B charges, can they apply the Hilton Honors Daily F&B Credit to the total folio?
The Hilton Honors Daily F&B Credit was created to provide guests with more dining-related flexibility, so the credit can only be applied to eligible F&B charges billed to the member’s room.
18. Some members may utilize the hotel restaurants or bar areas for meetings, dinners, etc. without staying at the hotel. Does the Hilton Honors member have to be staying at the hotel to receive the F&B credit?
Hilton Honors members, even if utilizing hotel facilities such as a restaurant or bar area, must be a registered guest of the hotel to receive the complimentary Daily F&B Credit.

No, Hilton Honors members should make their MyWay benefit selections prior to check-in or during arrival in order to receive the complimentary Daily F&B Credit.
23. When does the credit expire each day?
The credit does not “expire” until the member checks out. However, the daily amount re-sets each day to the maximum daily credit value at midnight. Members can use up to the total daily maximum and are responsible for anything beyond that amount.
Since the member gets a new credit each day (for the number of nights of their stay), the only day they can use any leftover credit is the morning of check-out. (return to top)
24. How will the complimentary Daily F&B Credit appear on my hotel bill/folio?
The total eligible Daily F&B Credit amount used and billed to the room during a member’s stay will be automatically applied and appear as one line item per day on a member’s hotel bill/folio, deducted from the total stay cost at the end of their stay.
25. How will the Hilton Honors Daily F&B Credit be handled at hotels with Executive Lounges?
At hotels that have an Executive Lounge that offers complimentary breakfast, Diamond members and Gold members upgraded to Executive Lounge access will not receive the Daily F&B Credit. These hotels will provide the Daily F&B Credit to Gold members not upgraded to Executive Lounge access.

- how it works for multi-night stays, and
- to what extent it applies outside the US
- The credit does not accumulate over the duration of your stay. For instance, if you stay for 2 nights at a $15/night property, you cannot use the benefit toward a single $30 purchase.
- Thus, the credit for a given day may only be used on that day. It expires afterward.
- Hilton's FAQ insists that "[t]he credit does not 'expire' until the member checks out." This is, to put it politely, complete nonsense.
- The Hilton FAQ states that "the daily amount re-sets each day to the maximum daily credit value at midnight." Unfortunately, this addition to the FAQ--made in Spring 2022--raises as many questions as it answers.
- The Hilton FAQ states explicitly that "for a one-night hotel stay, a Hilton Honors member would receive one complimentary Daily F&B Credit; the member may use the credit on the day of arrival or day of departure." This would be the sensible approach, but the alleged "midnight reset" policy cannot be reconciled with it.
- A similar problem exists for any stay of N nights. Unless a guest arrives after midnight on the first night, or departs before midnight on the last night, there will be N+1 "days" (using midnight as the demarcator) but only N usable F&B credits. For example, a guest arrives Monday for a two-night stay. That means the credits may be used only on two of the three "days," those being Monday evening; Tuesday; and Wednesday morning (departure).
- The benefit terms were revised in December 2022 to cover Motto properties outside the US; previously, the F&B credit applied only to US properties. However, the official T&C now refer more vaguely to “complimentary continental breakfast OR a Daily Food & Beverage Credit (varies by brand and region).” (link)
- A reputable blogger reported in late December 2022 that the Hilton Fallsview in Canada is also issuing F&B credits in lieu of free breakfast, with Hilton corporate appearing to ratify this decision. (link) In November 2023, a FT member reported the same occurring at the Doubletree Calgary North (link).

Already as it was before the summer of 2021, when looking at booking (more) directly via Hilton channels to use Hilton status benefits at US Hilton affiliated hotels, paying a premium to book directly to get the breakfast-related status benefits was often not worth it. And booking the Hilton hotels directly for "status benefits" would look to be an even worse value on average if having 2 or more guests to the room.
My suggestion is to be more of a free agent when it comes to considering stays at Hilton affiliated hotels in the US.

This hotel actually posts the menu with prices, most don't. Looks like that was a bargain $39 for the toast ($28) and juice ($8) and poached egg add on ($3). Plus 20% gratuity and the 5% California health insurance charge 
and this is my problem with the whole credit. For one person you're already looking at $49, which is double the credit amount even taking into account the higher amounts for LXR properties.

I've been seeing complaints about the cost of hotel breakfasts in Santa Monica for years.
Hampton Inn, Best Western, Comfort Inn and Days Inn there seem to still have breakfast included for guests.

Of course a hotel breakfast in Santa Monica was ridiculous. The cocktail I had at the bar after checkin was $25 (it was a solid Old Fashioned). Ż\_(ツ)_/Ż Welcome to the future.

if anything the restaurant should be the same or less than room service.And I genuinely don't think Hilton cares what we think. At least there has been no indication that they do, seeing as how the FAQs for all this remain as clear as mud when they were first announced, and experiences seem to be completely YMMV depending on the hotel and who is working that day, based off all the reports in the earlier version of this thread.

I'm fully aware I posted the room service menu. A room service menu with prices is far more useful than the restaurant menu without prices. if anything the restaurant should be the same or less than room service.

Wow. Quite disappointing. This is horrible.
There is one HGI we will be loyal to so long as one manager works there, but the rest of it is wide open now. We stay close to 50 nights in hotels over a normal year, and its out of our pocket.

I am in the minority here that I think it could be worse (like Marriott or IHG....) but what I really think it would be easier to manage and use if it was a per-room credit for F&B for the entire stay. So if you stay at a Doubletree for three nights it would be a 3X30 or a TOTAL of $90 for the entire stay. If you spend $80 - well you only get that amount. If you spend $100 - you owe the difference.
I do know that means less chance of non-use, but it for sure would be easier on the hotel and the customer.
