This sounds like a great way to get your Hilton Honors account hacked...

I should have taken a picture, but the Hampton Inn I stayed at last night had a fishbowl on the front desk with a sign that says, "Drop your business card with your Hilton Honors number written on it for chance to win 5,000 Honors Points".

WHY the requirement to write your account number on the card??? Anyone could go fishing in that bowl and have your name and Honors number, and possibly the email address and mobile phone number associated with that account, too!

Why can't they simply contact the winner to get the Honors number? That's the entire point of a business card. So people can contact you.

Trollish response. 5,000 points isn't squat, which makes the whole idea even more insulting.

And yes, I am Titanium Elite, but that's the Marriott program. I am also Hilton Diamond (which is what this thread is about... Hilton).

I will be dropping to Bonvoy Platinum because I was on leave during Q124, but I retained Hilton Diamond status by the hairs on my chinny chin chin.

People still have business cards?

Poors obsessed with their points programs…

I spent exactly $9.31 on a five night stay at the Hilton Hawaiian Village and enjoyed morning coffee and evening cocktails every day with the Diamond F&B credit ($36 per night in Hawaii). We ate meals elsewhere. The only reason I spent the $9 was because I billed too much to the room one day.

Points and status are freaking awesome. We spent a shit-ton of money in Hawaii but all Hilton got was 280,000 points (fifth night free) and $9.31.
