My wife has a shed load of HH points due to expire on 01/01/23.
We recently stayed at a Hilton in Dubai but this was booked via a third party, however the stay does show in my wife’s account albeit with zero points awarded.
Will this stay count as “eligible” and thus extend points expiration?

Thanks - took the call to just buy a small amount of points - $50 gave a 100% bonus so 10,000 points - worth it not to lose several 100k!

I see that you resolved the matter in the meantime through purchasing - however, just to answer your question, a transfer to another user would not have extended the validity, only a donation (see the link in the wiki at the top).

Points expiring help
Hi, we’ve got around 50,000 points expiring this month, we typically used Hilton lots but since covid, much less hence them expiring. We don’t want to lose them, but we don’t think we can stay before they expire.
can I book a room for next summer adding the extra £50 cash to the booking? Will that keep them active? Can I still cancel the room as usual if needed?
or can I keep the points active by buying more? 1000 points for example just to keep it open?
thanks muchly!

The only point with this process is: do not forget to cancel at appropriate timing.
