Transferring Points from a deceased Member's Hilton Honors account

In the event of a Hilton Honors Member's death, their Points can be transferred to another Member(s) upon Hilton's approval of the required documentation. 

• The transfer request and required documents must be provided within 1 year from the date of the Member's death. 

• Elite status can't be transferred, and Points received by a Member through a transfer won't count towards Elite status. 

• Points can be transferred to multiple Members. 

• Each transfer request must be processed individually, so make sure to submit the required documentation for each Member you wish to transfer Points to. 

• There's no minimum or maximum number of Points that can be transferred. 

• No fee will be charged. 

• The receiving Member(s) will receive the transferred Points within 5 business days of Hilton's receipt of the completed documentation and information requested.
