I had two accounts for the ACAQ promo, too. I merged them into one account on line. Worked without a hitch.
IIRC, they ask you which account to keep, and the stays/nights/points/status transfer over. So, if one account is Gold (as mine was) and the other Blue, I specified that the Gold account would be the remaining account, and it all worked as advertised.
AFAIK, this is still an available option.

"You have made a request to combine the following account(s) into the above account....yada, yada.
It will take 3 to 4 business days for the HHonors Customer Service Center to combine your accounts.
An HHonors customer service representative will contact you when this request is complete. '

I wouldn't count on the contact being made after the merger is complete. Generally it seems to be done with little further notice between right after the request was made and when the combination is completed.

I had to do the 'normal' merge recently, and whilst the reservations copied over successfully, the old HHonors numbers remained in the reservations. I had to email HHonors and they fixed it. Odd!
I am just waiting for my first stay after merging two Gold accounts with promos in to one Diamond. I am waiting to see if I get BOTH promos or just one.

Look forward to hearing about your (hopefully positive) experience. Thanks

How many HH accounts allowed?
How many HH accounts per customer are allowed?
The hotline told me that I can have two accounts.
HH Germany wants to close now one of my accounts?
Is there any rule regarding the number of accounts per individual?

Merging accounts
On the HHonors site is the facility to merge accounts. My partner and I have tried to merge our accounts as he only has a few thousand and we only travel together but the merger has not happened and I have emailed hilton but there has been no reply.

don't think you can do this...
I hadn't heard of this and got excited about combining my wife's small account with mine. However, the description of the process specifically says you can only combine accounts that you (singular person) own. In other words, it appears to only allow you to combine 2 accounts in your name (maybe an earlier account that had been forgotten?), not 2 accounts in two different names. This interpretation puts it in line with virtually all rewards programs which don't allow merging 2 people's accounts.
I have a related question for those who may be drawn to this thread by the title. I just found out that Marriott has no problem with my wife using my Marriott number even when travelling without me. Anybody know if Hilton allows that? I've always assumed not, so she has her own gold card, but it would be nice to rack up points and qualifying stays in a single account. (I'm expecting the answer to be no, but???).
