I recently checked out of a Hilton stay in Mystic and was trying to reach the spending requirement needed for Gold status. To make sure I crossed the threshold, I even bought a few extra items from the hotel pantry.
Before checking out, I asked the front desk to confirm my total spending and relied on that amount without verifying it myself.
Turns out I still ended up short by just $1. A frustrating lesson learned: always double-check the numbers before finalizing your stay.
