What is a Hilton Business account? Do the points accrue to a separate account from personal?

I think it has the same Hilton account number may just have some different rates. I haven’t set one up yet so not totally sure.

Please share when you set it up.

LoL...perhaps it has higher rates because business is less price sensitive?

FWIW, With points, timeshares and FNCs we rarely pay cash for a hotel room these days.

You don't actually need either a business website or an email domain (or a business, really). I went ahead and set the Hilton for Business account up in order to qualify for the Hilton credit on my Business Platinum card - the terms for the credit say you qualify once you set up the account and receive an email back from Hilton that it is set up, which I got without filling in a website; I do have an email domain name, but that was an optional item that would restrict access to the account to people using an email account from the domain.

Good to know; my comments were based on a video review of the changes to the card. I don't have a Plat Biz card, and I feel at my limit for cards I want to track and monitor for benefits. The Hilton credit would be nice if I already had the card, but there are not enough other perks to make me want to get the card.

Frankly, I just got it 3 months ago for the 250k member rewards SUB. The Hilton credit argues in favor of keeping it with the $200 airline credit and the 35% MR rebate on flight bookings. If they add another $200 benefit, I'll definitely keep it.

The points automatically go into my personal account. I've only used it once, and the rate was a little cheaper. Here's the info: https://www.hilton.com/en/p/hilton-for-business/

Just paid $50 towards my MFs at The Quin using the Business Platinum card - I'll report back when I get the credit. This is a nice replacement for the Adobe benefit, which now ends on 6/30/25 according to the website - I wasn't using that one anyway. It's a bit better for my usage than the Dell one, also ending 6/30/25 - I had used that one for a couple of little nice to have things but paying MFs is a better option. Hopefully they add another benefit to replace the one of those this doesn't cover.

Got the Hilton credit for my Quin MF payment. Posted once the charge was no longer pending.
