I got almost the exact same experience as well, being initially rejected due to them not being able to confirm my email domain. They further asked for my social media details to confirm the business address. Giving them my Dun & Bradstreet company listing seems to do it, as they also replied that they able to approve my registration after reviewing.
I was going to switch my 2 upcoming flexible bookings to a Business rate, but 1 hotel had their business rate about $50 more nightly than my already booked rate, while the other hotel doesn't appear to have business rates. Passing for now.
I just signed up, not sure if I'll get approved or not. I have a couple of domains and email linked to the domain (one I have had since 2001). But I sell solely on ebay and Amazon, and they wouldn't accept links to my stores.
I do have an EIN registered to myself and if that doesn't say "business" then nothing will.
I find that the business rate doesn’t show up in the initial search often, but if you chose a Hiltonhonors flexible rate, when you click through it pops up a choice to look and see if there is a business rate. When I click that I get the same search as before, but now there is an additional business rate available. It is normally a little cheaper, but what is most important to me is that it is always one day cancelation. Seemingly even on days that are blocked out as noncancelable with every other rate. Already come in handy for speculative bookings for college football games.
I have just joined the Business Account program and booked a room in one of my usual hotels. I asked my wife to book the same room on the same date and her price was 10% lower. So why pay extra by using the Business Account?
