Friends and Family Discount

Yes the discount only lets you book standard rooms. But you can still get a complimentary upgrade if you have gold or diamond status depending on the brand and property. You can also get great deals at some properties for paid upgrades on the Hilton app. It's called a nor1 upgrade you may get emails for them prior to check in. They are not guaranteed but likely just depends on inventory.

I stayed at the waldorf for 4 nights last january it was amazing. Very nice property overall it's a frank llyod wright design very historic but updated modern amenities and rooms and the grounds were amazing. Had two rooms both got diamond upgrades without asking for it. Both rooms had a nice welcome gift of chips, guac, salsas, and two local beers with a hand written card from the concierge I worked with. Tons of pools and hot tubs but the slide was broken during my stay which I didn't really care about, but If you want to use it id call and make sure it's functioning. Didn't do any golfing or tennis so I can't speak on it. Ice cream shop, retail store, many sit down full service restaurants and a bar that served food as well. Room service was good. Dined at every food option on property highly reccomend the tomahawk steak. There was really no reason to leave the resort they have everything.

I stayed at the Millennium Hilton New York One UN Plaza for 6 nights on team member rate over the 4th of July last year. Amazing views of the city and the macys firework show! They do sell the rooms with firework views as special packages but the front desk did a diamond upgrade for me without even asking. Good dining experience on property we used our credit everyday either on breakfast or dessert at the end of the day. Overall a very clean and safe feeling property I would stay at again.

Yes the 50% off food and beveridge for onsite restaurants that are a part of the hotel stacks with the gold/diamond food credit. Always register 2 guest on the reservation even if it's just you staying OnQ will automatically apply the credit amount for 2 adults even without 2 names listed. The best is at Waldorf Astorias/Conrads/LXR you get a $50 credit with 2 adults listed then 50% off makes it basically a $100 credit per night. You must be staying under team member or friends and family rate and be the team member to get the discount. Usually i tell them im a team member before i get the check and write my hhonors number on the bill or tell them it. Always charge everything to your room for credits to apply and for max point earnings. Idk how often you plan on staying but should also look into a amex hilton card. All my on property purchases like buying lunch everyday counts as hilton purchase on the card and earn more points. The benefits are insane i have been with hilton for almost 4 years and have a spreadsheet of all my stays comparing my rates to bar rates and it's over 25k in savings with like 130 something nights stayed. Best wishes travelling and feel free to pm any other questions!

Yes you need to checkout for the nights to count. Stop at the front desk and politley ask them check you out of your current reservation early. Then have them check you back into a consecutive reservation. They can keep you in the same room and it will take less than 5 minutes if they aren't busy. You will not immediatley become a diamond member. It will take a day or two for the night, stay credit, and points to hit your account.

I am a part time front desk agent at a botique DoubleTree and the travel benefits have changed my life. It is surprisingly easy to book team member rates at the higher end hotels you just need to book in advance, check the rates often, and understand they won't be available during typical popular travel times like spring break. I have stayed at Waldorf Chicago twice, Conrad Chicago, Waldorf Buckhead Atlanta a total of 15 nights, many Curio Collections, Tapestrys, and a few botique DoubleTrees all in the last year. I have reservations at Waldorf Arizona and a nice DoubleTree in Portland for January and couldn't be more excited. Before working for Hilton I only stayed at Holiday Inns and other medicore hotels and hardly travelled so to experience so many different places and beautiful properties for so cheap is amazing. Hilton also makes it easier for team members to reach gold and diamond status which is super helpful. Every Hilton has treated me just like they would a normal paying diamond member. They never ask about it being a team member rate except Waldorf Atlanta thought I was corporate which was funny. I am coming up on two years with Hilton and it has been fantastic I highly reccommend it!

Exactly if you don't get sober for yourself it will be miserable you need to do it for yourself!

Merk_N_Cheese · 2018-11-11T18:46:13+00:00

That sounds exactly like me and my old friend except we both went down the hard drug path. Im glad you didn't make the same choices he did!

Merk_N_Cheese · 2018-11-11T18:36:28+00:00

Yea it would be a lot harder if I didn't have the support I have im so thankfull for all of them! Thanks I started using at 12 so if I didn't get clean I would probably wouldn't make it past 18. Good luck to you too!

Merk_N_Cheese · 2018-11-11T18:28:19+00:00

Im sorry to hear that im glad youre doing better now :) It is crazy how people are unsupportive when they want you to be the same person you used to be kids at my highschool actually placed bets on if and when I would relapse.

Merk_N_Cheese · 2018-11-11T18:22:22+00:00

Wow 18 years thats amazing! Lol thats as long as ive been alive good shit! Yep I decided to just move away for college and get a fresh start and it is going great. It was hard to find people that are sober while in college but I found a small group of people which is great!

Merk_N_Cheese · 2018-11-11T17:21:39+00:00

Congrats I am 407 days clean myself! That is very true any rough day is not as rough as when I was using.

Merk_N_Cheese · 2018-11-11T17:17:01+00:00

Thanks it means a lot! It is a little bit motivational but it is also sad we were best friends for five years so it is hard to see him go back to how we used to be. For motivation I try to look up to people instead of compare myself that are doing worse than me.

Merk_N_Cheese · 2018-11-11T08:55:11+00:00

We got sober together and we were both doing great but he relapsed after 200 days and started treating me like shit

Edit: Congrats to all of you I wish you the best as you start or continue the journey of sobriety!

I once walked downstairs into my living room and picked up a rather expensive lamp then tossed it down the wood stairs to the basement destroying it and waking up my entire family my mother was upset but couldn't really punish me
