Hilton HHonors - new change reservation feature on Hilton.com.. pretty cool!

finally, you can change online reservations through the website.. yipee!
now if only hilton.com would let you list all the properties in an area on 1 screen WITH the room rates (like Marriott.com)...

I used the change feature yesterday and got a pleasant surprise. I had already booked one night at $161 and wanted to add a second night. The cheapest rate for the second night was $179. I half expected the system to quote me $179 for both nights. Instead, it left the first night at $161 and just added the second at $179.

This might come in handy for someone who knows ahead of time that they want 2 nights with different rates. Instead of booking 2 separate reservations, they might be able to book the first night and then add the second night. As usual, YMMV.

It's just my HO,but I still think the HH website is terrible.

i agree... however, this is a step in the right direction. What I would REALLY like is a list of all hilton properties in a city or area with the room rates - like marriott.com

Anybody know if you can "re-fare" a previous reservation? For instance, yesterday I went online and saw the price for my room had dropped $120, so I ended up cancelling my existing and re-booking a new one. Any ideas if this is supported?

You can. I just did it yesterday for an upcoming reservation and it worked pretty well.

For that, you can do what I usually do - use Orbitz or Travelocity in a separate window, and that way, you can get a generally good idea as to who is charging what for a given date/location.

All that has to be done is to make sure you select the search to narrow down to Hilton brands.

You are far better off if you first make a "new" reservation and THEN cancel the "old" one.
