Enrollment provides Rewards Network with personal details and the full linked-card number, though its privacy policy says it does not collect the card expiration date or security code; card networks and processors share participating-merchant transaction data for rewards administration. Up to twelve cards may be linked, and each card can belong to only one Rewards Network-operated program. Gift, FSA, EBT, some corporate, PIN-debit, third-party-app, processor, merchant-location, blackout-day, cap, return, and promotion rules can prevent earning. Pending points normally appear in the dining account in 3–5 days and transfer to Hilton Honors in 1–2 weeks; the new-member bonus allows 6–8 weeks. Participation can be canceled through Account Center by removing all linked cards or by contacting Member Services.","personalized":true,"regions":["US","Participating restaurants"],"expires":null},"status":"verified","last_checked":"2026-08-28","verification":{"checked_at":"2026-08-28T10:33:00.000Z","outcome":"confirmed-exact","evidence_quality":"provider","checked_url":"https://www.hiltonhonorsdining.com/"},"verification_readiness":{"status":"audit-confirmed-exact","latest_outcome":"confirmed-exact","latest_checked_at":"2026-08-28T10:33:00.000Z","interpretation":"The latest official-source audit confirmed every normalized term it tested."},"claim_url":"https://www.hiltonhonorsdining.com/","action_url":"https://andrewsfreebies.com/go/entitlement/hilton-honors-dining?from=api","official_action":{"allowed":true,"status":"ready","reason":"The latest official-source audit confirmed every normalized term it tested."},"source_url":"https://www.hiltonhonorsdining.com/","source":{"primary_url":"https://www.hiltonhonorsdining.com/","evidence":[{"source":"Hilton Honors Dining current program home and official action path","url":"https://www.hiltonhonorsdining.com/","kind":"provider","checked_at":"2026-08-28"},{"source":"Hilton Honors Dining current published earning tiers","url":"https://support.hiltonhonorsdining.com/hc/en-us/articles/115015112807-How-much-can-I-earn-with-Hilton-Honors-Dining","kind":"provider","checked_at":"2026-08-28"},{"source":"Hilton Honors Dining current enrollment and program explanation","url":"https://support.hiltonhonorsdining.com/hc/en-us/articles/115015194508-What-is-Hilton-Honors-Dining-and-what-do-I-need-to-do-to-join","kind":"provider","checked_at":"2026-08-28"},{"source":"Hilton Honors Dining current terms of use","url":"https://support.hiltonhonorsdining.com/hc/en-us/articles/115014914007-Terms-of-use","kind":"provider","checked_at":"2026-08-28"},{"source":"Hilton Honors Dining current 500-point new-member offer","url":"https://www.hiltonhonorsdining.com/earn/new-member-bonus-internal","kind":"provider","checked_at":"2026-08-28"},{"source":"Hilton Honors Dining current reservation bonus","url":"https://www.hiltonhonorsdining.com/earn/reservations","kind":"provider","checked_at":"2026-08-28"},{"source":"Hilton Honors Dining current points-posting and missing-reward rules","url":"https://support.hiltonhonorsdining.com/hc/en-us/articles/115015194528-My-Bonus-Points-are-missing","kind":"provider","checked_at":"2026-08-28"},{"source":"Hilton Honors Dining current privacy policy","url":"https://support.hiltonhonorsdining.com/hc/en-us/articles/115015023928-Privacy-policy","kind":"provider","checked_at":"2026-08-28"}]},"parent":null,"coverage":null,"web_url":"/benefits/hilton-honors-dining","taxonomy":{"version":"1.0","url":"/api/v1/taxonomy"}}
