What would you do for a Hilton stay?
Our speaker group is the most creative group I know. Here are some of our tricks to get to that diamond, platimum, whatever level.
• Stay at a different hotel each night so we get a stay at each one. You see, if you spend 3 nights at one hotel, you get 1 stay. If you go from the Embassy Suites on night 1, to the Hampton Inn on night 2, to the Hilton on night 3, you get 3 stays, which gives more benefit than 3 nights at one hotel.
• Book a stay at a local dive hotel in the chain you need another stay to maintain your premier status. Check in. Go home. Stop on the way to work. Go to your room to pick up your amenity (chips, candy bar, and/or water). Mess up the bed. Check out. Put found treasure in children’s lunches. One stay!
• Book a room under your name. Check in. Let daughter, son, or relative stay there. They are happy because they were upgraded to a nicer room. You get a stay. But be careful. If they have children, you will likely be babysitting. Hmmm. But it’s a stay.
• Use your points for a stay. But depending on the chain you may need to charge something to the room to get a credit for a "stay". Parking is good. So is a round of cocktails.
Lest you think this is ridiculous, you are wrong. The most important things are: You keep your top tier preferred status; You have more status than one of your compatriots: a heady notion.
