Hilton, American Express, and Hilton’s ownership community (hotel owners) have decided to donate a million rooms to frontline medical employees battling with the pandemic in the United States.
Hilton is working with ten organizations (see below the lost) to distribute the rooms for stays between April 13 – May 31.
We randomly chose the winner of the 100,000 Hilton Honors points giveaway that ended on Friday.
The person whose name is displayed below will receive an email from us today with instructions on how to redeem the prize.
Hilton Honors allow member’s points upon death to be transferred to a designated party by filing an affidavit.
The executor needs to fill out the form, attach death certificate/proof of death and send the documents to Hilton Honors by email.

A LoyaltyLobby reader sent us a note about a revamped Hilton Honors benefits matrix and page that shows Diamond members benefits.
The updated page shows that Diamond members are eligible for up to Executive-level accommodations while previously suites were included as well.
Hilton earlier this week updated its coronavirus (COVID-19) Travel Waiver & Refund policy (read more here), and Honors members will see their status extended by a year (read more here).
Now, Hilton has made a small, but not insignificant, change to the policy on Friday, although they have not changed the policy update date.

Hilton offered a very liberal match into its Gold and Diamond levels from competing programs for years and made some changes in August (read more here).
Hilton Honors continues to match to Gold status for 90 days during which the member can retain it or advance to Diamond. The status is now valid through March 2022.
Hilton has expanded its global travel waiver that is now valid for stays through and reservations made by June 30, 2020 (was going to expire on April 30), due to the on-going coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.
Cancellations fees are waived, and any prepayments refunded as long as you cancel your stay minimum 24 hours before your intended stay even past June 30 if you book them by that date.
Hilton Honors just updated status extension and points expiry policies due to the current coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, and it is more generous than what I expected.
Members who didn’t meet the status requirements in 2019 and were about to be downgraded on March 31, will see their status extended by a year through 2021. Those that qualified Silver, Gold, or Diamond status for 2020 will see theirs extended until March 2022.
Hilton Honors has launched a new points sale at a 100% bonus that is valid for two months through May 27, 2020.
Members can usually buy up to 80,000 points every calendar year before any bonus, although the limit is doubled to select if not all members (check the purchase page).
American Express has Hilton have launched a 50% conversion bonus for Membership Rewards to Honors through April 14, 2020.
The offer is likely only available for Amex cardholders in the United States. Membership Rewards program conversion rates and offers are country-specific and sometimes even account specific.
