"Yes that does count as activity as long as it’s a transfer, a survey and even point purchase keeps you active."
So how long does the MyPoints signup bonus take to post? I read an earlier post from years ago which said just a few days, but no luck here so far.

HHonors Quick Points/Activity
Hi everyone,
I haven't touched my HHonors account for a long time, and recently I got an email saying that my points will be forfeited because of inactivity on Sept 1st unless I do something. However, I'm currently traveling out of the country. Does anyone have any suggestions on quick/free/cheap/easy ways to put activity onto my account to avoid losing my accrued points? I need something that I can do using the internet.
Much appreciated!

At least you were notified
I lost all my points from hhonors with nary and email or letter. Didn't use my acct for 6 mos, tried to login and got a message that the acct was no longer valid. Hilton wouldn't give me the points back although I didn't try to terribly hard as I've switched over to Hyatt.

Same here! I just checked my account yesterday to make a reservation and was shocked that my account was no longer valid. I had not heard anything from Hilton with regard to closing out my account (including the loss of 88,000 points!), and so I sent HH an e mail. Haven't heard anything back yet

Trying to check availability I found my a.... was suspended, too..... called customer service and was told that they notified me 3 years ago(!) by e-mail of the expiration policy.... I scoured the website just now but didn't find it mentioned. She first offered to let me "re-earn" the lost points at 5k recovere per night I stay during the upcoming year-- I declined. Then she said she could file a claim to request the account be reviewed and the points reinstated-- that will take up to 10 business days. So here I wait... :-/
