Nov. 15, 2005 - Feb. 28, 2006

Looking forward to the promo site getting up.
I have a month of Asia travel coming up in January and this would be a great promo for me. ^

Huh..

I thought it might be two nights and then a cert for a free night anywhere, but it looks like it will be two nights and then the third night is free. That kinda sucks - I've got two two-night stays at the Hilton Kuala Lumpur and the Hilton Kuching, but can't extend either stay for a third night

From the website (search for asia free night)

Thanks. I was spacing out for some reason.
I did try to book the Tokyo Hilton from the site and, naturally :rolleyes: , the "asian free night" was unavailable despite being offer on the "asian free night" promo.

I guess I will try later and see if comes up. I didn't actually book but it appeared that I could have booked Seoul and Beijing. I will need both so will try tomorrow to make it work.

Web page looks to be up and running now!

Great Promo, but unfortunately I cannot use it...

Have three stays in Asia coming up soon.

Stay 1) Will be with Sheraton
Stay 2) Will be at Hilton, but only for 2 nights
Stay 3) Will be at Conrad, for three nights. Small chance of changing to Hilton, but the Conrad is supposed to be a lot superior.

Every country but Thailand!!!

they must be doing well there! :(

Except...try to book. Every country I have tried says "Aisia Free Night unavailable". :confused: This is after going thru the whole booking process.

I was able to book three nights in the Seoul Millennium for 3 nights. The rate was called "Visa 3rd night free".

Not able to book: Singapore, Beijing, Tokyo, Hanoi. No idea why as the site leads me to them...but when I try to book..it says no "Asia Free Nights"

Tried a variety of dates for the Guam Hilton under this promo (It's in the list of "Participating Hotels"), but all I get is "Please note that the Visa 3rd Night Free rate you requested was not available" even when I put in dates for times I know the hotel is sure to have a low occupancy rate.

Either very few rooms are allocated for this promo, or else the dates have yet to be loaded for this property.

Just booked Seoul Millenium for 3 nights and KL Hilton (Lifestyle Suite, best $250 USD You'll ever spend) for XMAS/New year's. Got the promo on both even on peak nights.

Booked Singapore for 20 to 23 December - after struggling with the site crashing for a few hours. (Still not sure after all I've read around here whether this is a good choice, regardless of the 3 for 2 deal.)

(Slightly OT>>) I have a couple of nights booked at the SIN Hilton (not 3 for 2) in early January. My son just got back and said that it was still under construction and that it did not look like a good place to stay right now.

I wonder if anyone has an update on the end of the construction?

Nice one Savage25. I was already thinking of uses but then who pays some of these rates? USD 145 at the Hilton SIN? The rate I'm paying there is less than that figure and it is in S$. Not so enticing for me then. Thanks though.

Cheers ...

In early Sep the Duty Mgr told me they will finish in Nov, but better to reconfirm if you want to stay there. I would say Jan '06 is safe but one never knows.

Cheers ...

I wonder if I pay with anything other than Visa I will still get the promo rate, but not the free night. Anyone know?

I am almost certain they will not give you the free night benefit if you don't pay with Visa.

Been a few month since I was last at Hilton in Singapore but the renovations won't change the fact that the building is at least 20 years older than the Conrad. Just did a quick check online and it is S$230 for Conrad and S$240 for Hilton. Free night or not, at this price, I would choose the Conrad anytime. Also, unless you get upgraded, standard room at Hilton is fairly small. The main advantage of Hilton is that it is in a better location that Conrad, unless you are there for business and need to be in the Suntec area.

I have been able to book the 3rd night free in Seoul and Beijing..but still nothing in Vietnam or Singapore.
Actually, I just had to cancel the Seoul as I am only there for 2 nights now.
Strange that the other cities don't work. It has been over a week since the promo came up. There has been enough time for the list to be edited if some properties are not participating.

I stayed there just this last weekend and it is almost completed. They were painting the outside of the building but no major noise due to construction.

I wish I could find the S$240 rate for the Conrad since I'll be back there in Dec. The rate I came up with was well over S$350 for the Conrad and S$250 for the Hilton. The Conrad doesn't offer the 2 for 3 so I'll stay at the Hilton again. For a three day stay, the difference in price is:

Conrad - USD $808.00

Hilton - USD $184.89

Unless someone can tell me it's worth the difference in price, I can't see paying that much more for the Conrad so I'll just stay at the Hilton again. Very nice lounge and staff upstairs.

Must be due to the dates. Not sure your exact travel dates but I'm looking at a 3 night stay from 19 to 22 Dec at S$280 per night for Conrad, while for some other nights it is at S$400 or more!

One way to beat the hilton.com system is to always check your room rates based on a one-night stay. Unlike some other hotel chains where the system automatically notes a rate change (I think Marriott is one), if one of your 3 nights are on a higher rate, the whole booking will be based on the higher rate. In such situations, I will just make seperate bookings based on the different rates. When you check-in, just inform them that you have seperate bookings and they usually do not have a problem linking the bookings so you do not have to check-out and recheck-in.

I still have not been successful in booking the free night promo in either Shanghai or Hanoi.

I called HHonors res and they could not get it either. I am wondering if they rate was not loaded for all of the cities on the list. :confused:

I was just thinking the same thing. Of course, the one Asian country I'll be visiting in '06 doesn't count. :rolleyes:

The current stay I have does have two different rates. The weekend rate then it changes to the weekday rate. I was able to get a better rate for the Conrad so I will be staying there this weekend. I really wanted to stay here over the Hilton so this is my chance.

I have a 6 nights stay in Tokyo in February. I'm wondering if I can make 2 separate reservations and 2 third night free?

I will be at Chongqing China for 7 days next month. Originally booked as reward stay (Cat 1 10,000 points per night for 6 nights plus 1 paid night). Now broke into 2 paid 3 nights stays with 1 night at Holiday Inn in between. Saving the points for GLON2 & GLONP2.

Does the rate already reflect the discount?

I tried booking 3 nights at the Hilton Phuket and it seems to be charging me for all 3 nights:

VISA 3RD NIGHT FREE
Rate per Night (THB) 11800.00
Total for Stay per Room
Rate (THB) 35400.00
Taxes 6619.80
Total 42019.80

Also, if I were to stay for 6 nights, does it charge me for 4 or do I have to book 2 seperate stays?

Per Hilton website "Please book your entire length of stay. The one free night will be credited to you at the hotel. " So the Hilton Phuket will credit you back one night at check-out, I believe. Also, per Hilton website "Offer is limited to one free night and one room per cardholder per stay." Therefore, you need to break the 6 nights into 2 stays (i.e. check out after 3 days, stay somewhere else for 1 day, then check back in again for another 3 days.

Has anyone else had problems over this? I have just left the Osaka Hilton, and they refused to honour the third free night. When booking on hilton.com, the webpage says the free night is credited at the hotel, but needless to say there is nothing on the email confirmation.

Are you sure you booked the "asia 3rd night free" rate? When I booked it, it is clearly noted in the confirmation right under the nightly rate.

I just finished 3 nights stay at Chongqing Hilton, had no problem getting the 3rd night credited back to me. The confirmation email clearly stated the rate is Visa 3rd night free.

Strange, the web confirmation confirmed it, but the confirmation email didn't. Needless to say I have only kept the email version....

Seems like I have the same problem as Truffles

Just left the Hilton Narita, and they also did not honour the Visa 3rd Night. Said something about the need to talk to Visa directly :confused:

I used the "More Free Nights" promo for a 6-night stay in Phuket. Hotel has no issue charging me with 4 nights and give me 2 nights free...

sorry to hear that you have problems. :(

I have already settled the matter with Hilton Narita...they decided to honor my promotion as my email confirmation did state that it was a B2G1N free... ^

Now i have another problem....they refunded the money for the entire stay! :D

Glad to see that this is resolved to your satisfactory.
