Two positive recent developments have occurred for Hilton Honors American Express card members: the Free Weekend Night Rewards which are earned annually or accomplished via certain milestones are now visible in the membership profile of Hilton Honors members — along with their expiration dates — and the expiration dates of those Free Weekend Night Rewards have been extended yet again.
Hilton Honors Extends Free Weekend Night Rewards Yet Again for American Express Card Members — Plus…
Details of the extensions of the expiration dates are as follows, as Free Weekend Night Rewards which are issued:
- Through June 30, 2020 have been extended; and will now expire July 1, 2022.
- Between July 1, 2020 and December 31, 2020 expire 24 months from date of issuance.
- Between January 1, 2020 and December 31, 2021 will expire December 31, 2022.
- Between January 1, 2020 and December 31, 2022 will expire 12 months from the date of issuance.
Additionally, all Hilton Honors American Express card members can now view their Free Weekend Night Rewards — including total number of rewards, expiration dates, and usage activity — in their membership profiles at HiltonHonors.com. To redeem a Free Weekend Night Reward, Card Members should call Hilton Honors Customer Care at 1-800-446-6677.
To see how many Free Weekend Night Rewards you have, simply log into your Hilton Honors membership account and scroll down until you see this…
…and then click on See all to view the details of how many Free Weekend Night Rewards you have available to use.
Also, keep in mind that Free Weekend Night Rewards — including those which were issued in 2022 — can continue to be used any night of the week and not solely on weekends; and Hilton Honors bonus points earned from eligible purchases on any Hilton Honors American Express Card will continue to count as base points toward elite status qualification and Lifetime Diamond status through Friday, December 31, 2022.
Free Weekend Night Reward certificates for eligible Hilton Honors American Express Card Members had already been extended on Thursday, May 27, 2021 due to the current 2019 Novel Coronavirus pandemic…
…and several revised adjustments to policies of the Hilton Honors frequent guest loyalty program were released on Wednesday, September 15, 2021 to provide maximum flexibility and value to greater than 118 million of its members due to the current 2019 Novel Coronavirus pandemic — including the extension of the expiration date of points; and the reduction of the qualification requirements for earning elite status for next year.
Final Boarding Call
The ability to view how many Free Weekend Night Rewards one has earned has been a feature for which Hilton Honors members have been waiting for years, as keeping track of them was otherwise cumbersome and difficult — even involving searching past e-mail messages — until now…
…and the extension of the expiration dates of Free Weekend Night Rewards is especially welcome for those members who have not used them yet.
Although this excellent news is certainly something about which to be thankful for this holiday season, the ability to redeem a Free Weekend Night Reward online instead of having to call a representative of the Hilton Honors frequent guest loyalty program via telephone would be an extremely welcome feature which would be a lot easier and more efficient — as well as the ability to view the tracking towards Lifetime Diamond status.
