170,000 Points
I'll be very honest, I'm a little confused with the Hilton Honors program. I'm currently living in a Hilton and just checked my statement: I'm Blue level and have about 170,000 points credited to my account. With more than 100 nights [in the same hotel] on my account, I would have guessed I would be at the top of the HH program. Any suggestions on maximizing my status/miles, etc?
Thanks in advance.
John

How long have you been "living" there?
Quite often stays over 30 days don't accrue ANY points!
People often check out of a day once a month to make sure they get credit for the points coming to them.
In other cases, people have reported that when a long term stay was negotiated for them by their company, the rate quoted prevented the person staying from receiving any points as well.

Update
I've stayed over 100 nights and will be here through the end of the month. It seems as though I should be Diamond at this point. This is not a negotiated rate; as far as I know. All I do know is I want to get something like six free nights at the Conrad in Tokyo. Seems reasonable, huh?

If you have any HH status, 6-nights @ Conrad Tokyo is 175k(GLONP)

I tried to find the 30+ day stay rule (that others have mentioned) in the T&Cs and couldn't find it. I did find this one.
11. HHonors Members may not accrue more than 100,000 Base points during one stay, regardless of the amount of eligible folio charges, except for Homewood Suites by Hilton hotels and Qasr Al Sharq (a member of The Waldorf=Astoria Collection™) for which there is no cap.

So let my try one last time
pdx42 We more than strongly suggest that check out of the hotel for at least one ( or two nights) that way you will eliminate the possiblity that you might lose the points that you will have earned for the rest of your stay.
If you still dont quite understand pm somebody who has posted on this thread so they can explain it to you.

ok.
Either way it appears the OP still has not caught on to what we are saying.

It usually only takes a couple of days for a domestic stay to post. You have a special situation though. You should fax your receipt to Hilton so they post your stay quickly. When did you check out and check back in?
