Claim 6: “offering non-Honors members up to 15% off”

CORROBORATED

Web search results mention a Hilton summer sale with 'up to 15% off stays'. While the specific 'non-Honors' distinction is implicit in the comparison to Honors-specific rates (which are higher, e.g., 20-25%), the 15% figure is explicitly linked to the summer sale in search results.
