Hilton HHonors has released their latest Standard
Room Rewards update. This is where Hilton notifies us of what hotels may
be moving up or down in reward categories. Hilton moved to this dynamic
method quite some time ago instead of releasing annual changes like
most other hotel chains. This lates release does not see any locations
moving up or down but does provide the category details of the newly
opened Home2 Suites by Hilton Fort St. John. It enters the market as a
Category 4 hotel. Find all the hotels that are changing outside of Canada here.
Rewards Canada reader IceHelgi asked us the following question:
“Any idea if transfer between accounts counts as transaction to keep Marriott points from expiry?”
We reached out to Marriott and the answer is no, these
transfers do not keep Marriott Points from expiring. So even if you
transfer 10,000 Starpoints to Marriott to get 30,000 Rewards Points, if
your account was set to expire in 3 months it still will unless you have
an eligible earning or redemption action. I’m guessing most of you
would only transfer to Marriott for an immediate or near immediate
redemption so it shouldn’t affect you but it is still good to know that
transfers do not count as qualifying activity.
