New bookings

All new reservations (even those designated as non-cancelable under “advance payment”) made within a period from today through June 30, 2020 for a future arrival date may be changed or cancelled at no charge up to 24 hours prior to the scheduled arrival date.

Hilton Honors Program gestures

Pause for points expiration

Hilton Honors is pausing the expiration of points until December 31, 2020.

Extension of the validity period of one-night free certificates

Also, members with an annual free weekend night certificate (obtained in the U.S. with the Hilton Honors American Express Aspire card, for example) will have the expiration date extended to August 31, 2021.

Hilton Honors Status

Hilton Honors has decided to grant an extension of status:

  • Members whose 2019 status was due to lapse on March 31, 2020 – whether Diamond, Gold or Silver – will have that status extended to March 31, 2021
  • Also, for the 2020 status, it will be extended until March 31, 2022. This means that the status you have today (Diamond, Gold or Silver) will be valid for the next 24 months.
