What about the award stay? Can it earn the 2k bonus?
Won’t post for pure award stays.
Must I leave my earning preference to “points + miles” until the avios are posted or can I switch back to “points + points” as soon as I complete the 5th stay?
You can switch back to Points + Points after the stay has posted (or I would say 24 hours after the stay).
I have the same thought about award stays, doesnt seem to be excluded and if I trigger a charge to the folio it could work?
Didn’t post to my recent award stay.
Am I still entitled to the Avios reward if I change my earning partner after I made the booking but before I even started my stay? I raised an enquiry to Hilton about a recent stay where they credited my old airline instead of the changed one and they replied that the policy is they will stick to the old in my account at time of booking, not the one in file during the stay. Seems contradictory to the T&C that says you need to register before a stay is completed?
Actually the front desk can see what partner you have on file with the Hilton for the stay (or you can see it too if the property uses OnQ – just look at the registration shee carefuly it shows the partner airline).
For some reason I had Avianca LifeMiles for the first one under this promo and I had the front desk to change it to BA. Worked well.
Well I hadn’t expected that to happen as I thought since I registered and changed to BA before my stay, it would be updated. Now I learnt my lesson and will make sure I check when I check in next week at Hilton. I also wrote a long reply to HH about this policy and requirement but have a feeling they’ll probably not relent.
