Must book and pay for two nights at the United Gift with Purchase rate

I would be curious to hear from those of you who used the offer whether the "Gift with Purchase Rate" on Hilton.com provided any savings for you. Was it the lowest rate available at Hilton.com ? Or was it more economical to pay for 3 nights at the lowest available rate vs. 2 nights plus 1 free using the offer?

Just like the "Sunday Is Free" promotion.

How does one get that special link?? I don't see anything on my confirmation page..... :confused:

Has anyone used this or gotten the link for it?

I just booked on UA and also didn't see the link on my confirmation page. I wrote technical support to see if they could send me the link, but also wonder if the rates will be higher than just booking with Hilton.

Just like the "Sunday Is Free" promotion.

My thoughts too. Just UA wrapping up an existing Hilton promo with their name on front.

Tech support did get me the link after a long time trying to find it. It actually worked quite well for me. I was going to pay $299 for each of three nights; now I'm paying $299 for two of three nights. Nice to see there was no markup.
