Resumen del cargo
This is a charge for a hotel reservation or on-property purchases at a Hilton hotel.
What is the Hilton charge?
A 'HILTON' charge on your bank statement is typically related to a hotel stay, a reservation, or a service associated with the Hilton brand.
These charges can appear as specific hotel names, brand names (like HAMPTON BY HILTON), or 'HILTON ADVPURCH' for Advance Purchase bookings.
Authorization Holds and Final Charges
When you check in, hotels place a 'hold' on your card for anticipated incidentals. This pending charge is typically released within 72 hours after checkout.
After checkout, the final bill (including room charges and fees) is processed. Some stays may include small donations like the 'Hilton Global Fnd/TMAF'.
- Step 1 Verify if you or anyone with access to your account made a hotel reservation or had an incidental charge during a recent trip.
- Step 2 Contact the specific hotel directly; they can provide an itemized receipt and explain the charges. If needed, use the Hilton Billing Issue Form online.
What should I do if I never stayed at a Hilton?
If you are certain the charge is fraudulent, contact your bank immediately to dispute the transaction and request a new card.
Dispute Rights & Fraud Prevention
If you suspect this charge is fraudulent or billing in error, you have strict federal rights protecting your account.
Always review your statement carefully and take action within 60 days.
What should I do if I don't recognize this charge?
First, check with family members or anyone authorized on your account. If the charge remains unrecognized, contact your bank immediately to report it. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act (FCBA), you have 60 days from the statement date to dispute unauthorized credit card charges.
How long does it take for a disputed charge to be removed?
Once you file a dispute, your bank must acknowledge it within 30 days and resolve it within two billing cycles (not exceeding 90 days). During this time, the disputed amount is usually placed on a provisional hold, meaning you do not have to pay it.
