Forums Hotel loyalty schemes Hilton Honors cancel Standard Room Reward after cancellation window

  • 15 posts

    Looking for some advice, I have a room booked for tonight and I’m not well so need to cancel the booking. I booked a Standard Room Reward on points, I couldn’t cancel through the app so called up and was advised that if I cancel or no show I’d be charged the standard rate and have my points refunded. Standard rate is £400 as the hotel is currently sold out. Spoke to customer service and there was no flexibility on this. Any suggestions? It seems crazy that I go from using points (free) to costing me £400.

    I have Diamond status if that matters.

    Can you remote check-in and request a digital key then remotely check out? This way you lose your points but not £400. Alternatively, if you have to pay the £400, do you have travel insurance you can claim on?

    I’d be very happy to lose the 70k points over £400! 🙂
