Boycott the NRA - Hilton Honors and Other Hotel Rewards

I was disheartened to learn that many hotels offer a special discount to NRA members. I'm a Hilton Honors member and have racked up a lot of points traveling for work and leisure. It would appear that not all of a hotel's brands get the discount. For example, Hilton seems to offer it to on the Hampton and Garden Inns properties. These are the least expensive options in the Hilton's portfolio drawing mostly budget travelers. The hubs and I will stay at a Hampton occasionally for leisure.

I called the Diamond Desk (1-855-292-5757) and said that I would no longer stay at properties that offer an NRA discount. I said that the Hampton/Garden Inns is a family-friendly brand attracting guests who might not agree with the radical gun policies and anti-law enforcement rhetoric espoused by the current NRA leadership.

So DU friends, check out hotelplanner on the NRA website. If your brand, offers a discount, tweet, email and call your rewards hotels.

Diamond members can call the Diamond Desk, 1-855-292-5757

If you don't have Diamond status, call the 1(800) 445-8667

2. Thanks for the heads up. I am also long time Honors member

Love all the Hilton hotels .

I too will point this out, in the most reasonable manner, to Hilton.

We do what we can.

4. I also said

That 97% of the public is for sensible gun safety regulation and that the NRA opposes things like waiting periods, stronger background checks, raising the age to buy weapons etc. That it doesn't make good business sense to align with an organization so radical that only 3% of the public agrees with all of its positions.

6. Thanks. I'll use that as a guide. Also your pointing out that certain hotels are family favorites.

There has to be a starting point to the undoing of the NRA.
Thanks

5. Hilton HHonors award program sucks anymore

Too many points required for free nights and some hotels you don't even earn 10 points per dollar spent, you only earn 5 pts per $...

100,000 points USE to get you 6 nights at many Hilton hotels, incl some real nice resort hotels....Now, you would be lucky to get 2 nights at the LAX Airport Hilton for 100,000 pts....

7. I know they did recently revamp their program.

Point systems used to be to get ppl in the door.
Now I guess its not so necessary anymore.

It's disappointing .

8. I suggest calling eBay and telling them to drop FedEx as a shipper

FedEx offers shipping discounts of as much as 26 percent to members of the NRA, the gun-rights group with 5 million members, as part of a program that also has special offers for Visa Inc. cards, according to Guns Down. Separate programs offer deals on Hertz rental cars and Wyndham hotels, according to the NRA website.

Because, by buying through eBay and getting shipments via FedEx, you cannot abide any money that you spend going to support a terrorist organization ... which is exactly what the NRA is
