Can I use my Hilton Honors to book for someone else?

Yes, you can book a room for someone else using your Hilton Honors account. You can also pool points with others or gift points to someone else to book their own room or use in other ways.



Yes, you can use your Hilton Honors points to book a room for someone else in 2026, but the process must be handled correctly to avoid check-in issues. When booking a "Reward Stay" using points, you can simply put the other person's name as the primary guest in the "Guest Information" section during the online checkout process. If you are booking a cash stay and want them to get your elite benefits (like free breakfast or room upgrades), it is technically against Hilton’s terms for you to not be present; however, you can add them as a "second guest" to your reservation so they can check in first. A more formal way to do this is through the "Points Pooling" or "Points Transfer" feature, where you can send your points to the other person's Hilton Honors account (for free) so they can book the room themselves. This is the safest method to ensure the guest has no trouble at the front desk and that the reservation is legally in their name while still using your hard-earned loyalty rewards.
