Per FlyerTalk, Hilton has announed that they will be updating their internet policy.  Starting in August 2015, HHonors members can get complementary internet when you book your Hilton hotel one of the following ways:

• Booking directly through a proprietary Hilton channel one of our corporate travel partners:
  • The Hilton HHonors mobile app
  • Online from hilton, HHonors.com, or any of our brand/hotel websites
  • Calling Hilton Reservations Customer Care: 1-800-HHonors or your local Hilton reservations office
  • Calling an individual hotel (plus walk-ins and physical on-property too)
  • Via corporate travel agencies and travel professionals that book via a Hilton proprietary channel

Hilton To Offer Free WiFi 

Here’s all the conditions that were posted:

• Our most loyal guests, Diamond members, will receive complimentary premium Wi-Fi beginning in the second quarter this year at all of our properties when they book directly through a proprietary Hilton channel or via one of our corporate travel partners.
• Starting in August, we will extend complimentary standard Wi-Fi access to Blue and Silver members when they book their stays directly through a proprietary Hilton channel or one of our corporate travel partners.
• Complimentary standard Wi-Fi will continue to be a benefit for HHonors Gold members who also book directly through our proprietary Hilton channels or one of our corporate travel partners.
• Booking directly through a proprietary Hilton channel one of our corporate travel partners:
  • The Hilton HHonors mobile app
  • Online from hilton.com, HHonors.com, or any of our brand/hotel websites
  • Calling Hilton Reservations Customer Care: 1-800-HHonors or your local Hilton reservations office
  • Calling an individual hotel (plus walk-ins and physical on-property too)
  • Via corporate travel agencies and travel professionals that book via a Hilton proprietary channel
• This update doesn’t apply to hotels where there is a resort charge.

Bottom Line

Seems like Hilton is falling in line with many of the other big chains who are also giving their guests free internet. This is good to see and slowly becoming the norm at most hotels. One less junk fee to pay for = the consumer wins!

If looking for Hilton points, consider the Hilton Honors™Â Card from American Express card.
