Just got an email that my miles from Hilton are going to expire. Of course it’s because of the pandemic. Any recommendations about small things to reset the clock in addition to stay a night somewhere?

Call and complain, they’ll probably reinstate them.

smart

Good call

If you don’t want to spend the money to travel somewhere, you could always do a 1 night staycation in your home city

Yes thanks. I know I can do that but with a family and sports it’s challenging to do this and feels like a waste

Got the same email. I’m planning on signing up for their shopping portal and going through there the next time I need to order something online

You can use them on Amazon
