I want Hilton might make it simpler to make use of the reward playing cards by including them to your account and being able to use them to the room costs. I’ve 4 of 6 Hilton reward playing cards I been carrying round for over 5 years as I all the time have points utilizing them. I used to buy them in particular person on the Hilton Hawaii Village (small reward store behind the entrance desk) for the AMEX credit score.
I normally have 10-20 Hilton stays per yr however between stays with out room costs, forgetting to make use of them earlier than the system checks you out, discovering staff that really know tips on how to apply them is all the time a problem & asking the entrance desk when there’s not a protracted line. I additionally had many manufacturers resembling Kimpton & Cover inform me they don’t settle for them in any respect.
Greatest probability to make use of them is correct after you cost a meal to your room whereas its recent in your thoughts & foyer just isn’t busy go to the entrance desk and ask them to use the GC to your room costs. For certain attempt to burn the complete worth ($25 or $50) in a single go. If in case you have a partial cost with $10 or much less on the cardboard it’s a must to know the precise steadiness and it’s sort of that awkward second for certain if you happen to’re at some upscale Hilton resort telling the entrance desk, I’ve $5.35 on this reward card I want to apply to my invoice. You’re going to get the twisted look as they struggle to determine tips on how to manually sort the cardboard #’s into the system whereas which have which can be you kidding me look, Ha! That really occur to me as soon as, the entrance desk was so confused on tips on how to use the reward card he mentioned how about I simply apply a $10 courtesy credit score to your room, and he threw the cardboard within the trash.
However for certain when you have a $50 use of lose AMEX credit score then after all as a final resort get the reward playing cards, I’m holding on to my GC hoping in the future Hilton will enhance the system to make them simpler to use.
