Most loyalty programs wiped the tier progress to zero this past Friday if they use the calendar year for qualification purposes (the majority do).
Hilton’s app that shows the Honors qualification progress in 2021 asks us to “hang tight” while they try to come up with the numbers.
We have decided to revisit the topic of hotels scamming with room rate currency conversions which we previously looked at in Indonesia and Brazil.
If the booked currency differs from the settlement one, you should always check that the conversions are done using the correct rate and not an inflated one that can benefit the hotel anywhere from 5% to 10%.
Hilton has now launched its first Honors promotion for 2021 called “Points Unlimited.”
Hilton Honors members earn 2,000 bonus points for each stay and an additional 5,000 bonus points for every five nights consumed between January 1 – May 2, 2021.
In early October, Hilton launched an offer to buy Honors points with a 100% bonus combined with an increased limit to some that is about to end. You must purchase by December 31, 2020.
Members can usually buy up to 80,000 points every calendar year before any bonus, although the limit is now doubled for most if not all members (check the purchase page).

Currently Hilton Honors members can still earn double elite nights for nights consumed until December 31, 2020 and these bonus nights (2 nights for every 1 consumed) will roll over to 2021.
With Hilton’s announcement to cut requirements for Elite status re-/qualification by 50% in 2021 I decided in early November that it makes sense to take care of this early on so my Diamond is secure for yet another year.
Hilton Honors and many other programs have teamed up with companies conducting consumer surveys in the US. You complete surveys and earn points in the process.

A LoyaltyLobby reader sent us a message on Twitter regarding a reservation cancellation issue at the Hilton Paris Charles De Gaulle-hotel.
Remember that you can always email us, send a message via Facebook, or use Twitter and include photos. We’ll try to cover a Compensation Clinic case most Sundays (at least when this pandemic is over).
