How Do I Dispute a Charge with Hilton Hotels?

Feb 21, 2023

Hilton Hotels offers comfortable rooms at great rates, and the hotel chain offers its own Hilton credit card that can be used not only at Hilton Hotels but anywhere American Express is accepted. There are times, however, when you may have dispute a charge on your hotel bill or your Hilton credit card bill, but don't quite know how. You can learn more about Hilton Hotels by contacting customer support here, and below are ways to dispute charges.

Disputing Hilton Charges

You can dispute charges associated with your stay at a Hilton Hotel location, or you can dispute charges that appear on your Hilton credit card, and how to do this for each is outlined below.

Erroneous Charges Associated With a Hilton Hotel Stay

When you feel there are errors on your bill for your stay at a Hilton Hotel, you must inform the reservation desk at the hotel either by calling the location or letting the desk clerk know in person at checkout or during your stay. Once it is confirmed the charge was in error, the hotel manager can reverse the charges back to your credit or debit card.

Disputing a Hilton Credit Card Charge

Hilton Hotels has partnered with American Express to offer a Hilton credit card with special rates for Hilton Honors' members. If you notice a charge on your Hilton card, you can dispute it by doing the following:

  1. Open Hilton's credit card website on your browser.
  2. Log into your account.
  3. Open your statements.
  4. Find the transaction that is erroneous.
  5. Click on the transaction to get as much detail as possible (such as date of the transaction, amount, location where the transaction occurred).
  6. Select "Dispute/Inquire About This Charge." This opens an inquiry into the matter.
  7. A hold will be placed on the transaction until the matter is reviewed by American Express and the merchant has been contacted.

Charge card disputes are typically resolved in 30 days, and if American Express finds in favor of the merchant, you will be responsible for the charge on your Hilton credit card. If the matter is found in your favor, the charge will be removed immediately following the finding.

Hotel stay charges are handled at the hotel site level, and Hilton charge card disputes are handled through American Express' dispute process. For more information and assistance on disputing a charge with Hilton Hotels, reach out to customer support here.

Why does GetHuman Write How-to Guides for Hilton Hotels Problems?

GetHuman has been working for over 10 years on sourcing information about big organizations like Comcast in order to help customers resolve customer service issues faster. We started with contact information and fastest ways to reach a human at big companies. Particularly ones with slow or complicated IVR or phone menu systems. Or companies that have self-serve help forums instead of a customer service department. From there, we realized that consumers still needed more detailed help solving the most common problems, so we expanded to this set of guides, which grows every day. And if you spot any issues with our What do I do if my Xfinity TV or internet is out? guide, please let us know by sending us feedback. We want to be as helpful as possible. If you appreciated this guide, please share it with your favorite people. Our free information and tools is powered by you, the customer. The more people that use it, the better it gets.
