Hilton Honors Other Info

Best price guarantee

Many hotel groups, including booking sites, offer the best rate guarantee policy, commonly known as BRG (Best Rate Guarantee), and Hilton naturally has one.

After a successful BRG, you will receive the following compensation.

The room rate is adjusted to the lower rate you find, and you receive an additional 25% discount.

The success rate of Hilton BRG is still relatively high, and you can apply for BRG without submitting an order, so if you are interested, you may want to try it.

Elite Rollover Nights

The purpose of Elite Rollover Nights is that if a Silver member or above has stayed in a room for more than the guaranteed number of nights this year, the excess can be used in the next year. This does not require you to do anything else, and the system will do it automatically.

For example, if you obtain Silver membership after a 10-room night stay and reach 30 room nights at the end of the calendar year, it will carry over 20 room nights to the following year. This gives you a higher starting point for earning Gold membership in the new calendar year.

It's a beneficial policy, and the extra room nights won't go to waste. Interestingly, when Marriott announced eliminating this policy, Hilton, which did not have it before, went the other way.

Hilton Employee friends and family rates

What prepaid, promotional, and agreement prices are floating clouds, staff prices, and family and friends are leaning on the sword, who is fighting.

Staff price is fixed. The price is very low. The prices of different hotel brands are as follows (including tax).

  • $35: Hampton by Hilton, Garden Inn, Home2 Suites by Hilton, Homewood Suites by Hilton, Tru by Hilton

  • $45: Hilton Hotels & Resorts, DoubleTree by Hilton, Embassy Suites Hotels, Tapestry Collection by Hilton

  • $55: Curio, A Collection by Hilton, Canopy by Hilton, Hilton Grand Vacations

  • $75: Waldorf Astoria Hotels & Resorts, Conrad Hotels & Resorts

And hotels in Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and the Asia Pacific include breakfast.

The Friends and Family(Hilton team member rate) rate is not as cheap as the staff rate, but it's still a significant discount, 50% off the flexible rate!

If you are a Hilton employee, you don't need to say that you can stay at the hotel for free. If you want the Friends and Family rate, you should pay attention to your friends or relatives around you, catch them, and tie them up.

Diamond card members free extension for one year

In the diamond card benefits, there is a: "diamond membership extension", meaning that eligible diamond card members can get a free extension of the opportunity. The conditions are as follows.

  • Have a Diamond membership history of at least 3 years in total (no need for 3 consecutive years)

  • Have stayed at least 250 nights (including points stays) or earned at least 500,000 base points (excluding bonus points).

It is important to note that each Diamond member can only receive one complimentary extension per lifetime, so don't waste it if it's not necessary.

Hilton usually sends out an email to remind Diamond members to use this benefit by March each year, or you can submit a request through this page.

Hilton Honors Agreement Rates

Many large companies have agreement rates with Hilton, and usually, the discounts are not low. In the past, some people liked to use the agreement codes of these companies or even create fake work badges to check-in. But then, with the crackdown by the hotel groups, few people do this anymore.

Although company agreement rates are not available to the general public, Hilton has two agreement rates that can still come in handy in certain situations.

One is the MVP rate, available at hotels in the Americas, offering a 20% discount on flexible rates.

The other is the AAA rate, which many of you know, is available worldwide at approximately 10% off for hotels with this rate.

Hilton Honors Promotions

Among all hotel groups, Hilton has the most promotions.

Many hotel groups fixed every quarter will launch quarterly points rewards activities, which we often say Q1, Q2, Q3, and Q4 activities. As mentioned earlier, Hilton's quarterly rewards program is generally quite powerful. Commonly, there are 2x or even 3x rewards, which are suitable for cash stays in expensive hotels; 2,000 bonus points by Stay, which are ideal for points or cash stays in cheap hotels.
