  3. Hilton Honors member benefits for Mutual Fund accounts may be extended for up to two rooms, provided both members are present and have a room registered in each member’s name.
  4. Hilton Honors Mutual Fund accounts are available only to couples legally married under the laws of the state or province or country in which the couple resides.

  8. Either spouse acting alone may use any and all accumulated Points to request any Reward(s) for which the Hilton Honors Mutual Fund has sufficient Points.
