Hilton HHonors - Confidential rate - how do I know how much it is?

I was just trying to book a room and the rate under "Net Direct Rates" was "Confidential Rate" - I clicked on it and got to the point where they were going to charge my credit card, yet it STILL didn't tell me how much the rate was! I need the stays to keep Gold for next year. Anyone know how I can determine how much the actual rate is??

Sounds like a bug in the system. Net Direct rates are usually, but not always, about 10% lower than Best Available Rates. I've actually seen them the same or more on some occasions :confused: I certainly wouldn't risk booking an unknown rate. The only time I've seen Confidential Rate stated is on Awards when it appears HHonors do not want us to know how much they are paying the individual hotel for the reward stay. If you really need to stay at that hotel to achieve Gold, why not consider one of the other more flexible rates as the Net Direct Rate charges your credit card the full amount immediately and do not let you cancel if your circumstances change.

I just received the same thing for an AAA rate. Never saw the message it before today.

I wondered if maybe I needed to sign in to see the rate but it still did not show. It was very strange. I ended up booking a AAA rate but still wondering what this was.
