Sorry Senator, but being given a $8 Voucher for breakfast in the Starbucks concession in the lower ground floor of the building (as compared to a sit down meal in a Proper breakfast room such as the Syon Park Astoria in west London) is not my idea of feeling ‘valued’

SwissExPat, this was my exact issue at the Waldorf which was handled with care and consideration by the Diamond Reception. If you have a generic email address (I don’t) please post it and I can offer you some advice on what do do.

The other huge advantage of Hilton HHonors is the double-dipping – you can get their own loyalty points PLUS airline points for the same stay – as far as I know, the only major hotel chain that offers this

Agree, VK: the chain is nothing else is available in the area.

60 nights per year in Interconti hotels (the brand, not the group) and you get the “Royal Ambassador” status. And this has nothing to do with what Hilton is giving! It includes notably complimentary minibar beverages and suite or executive room guaranteed upgrade!

another good reason to go for instant HILTON GOLD upgrade!

About double-dipping (Ian HK)
“The other huge advantage of Hilton HHonors is the double-dipping”

Absolutely.
I enjoy my Diamond benefits year after year, thank you, only getting sniffy when a lounge is either closed for reno, or when it gets a bit full of noisy (Gold or aircrew) Yanks and Brits. Staying as a Diamond in most Conrads is the best way to enoy this level of status.

The double-dip for airline points enables me to
a) get the extra benefit when a particular airline or alliance has specials like quadruple points for Hilton stays; and
b) every three years, on my default airline, having a Y reward ticket to any region except deepest Pacific.

I’m with Senator and prosborn. HH Diamond gives me what I need and I’m very satisfied with the perks, etc, especially lounge access/exec floor upgrades in Europe and Asia. Can it be better? Absolutely. But, for now, I’m pleased (even with the added elite requirements).
