Visa Signature Reservations 25% Discount on Hotel Rooms — Hilton Brand Only

Haven't seen this in Hotel Buzz and may not be the proper place.

Currently you can book SOME Hiltons and using the Hilton Signature Visa Card, you get 25% off the booking.

Found it in "My Way Specials" Here is the Link.

Checked San Juan PR for July 4th Weekend and the Hilton Caribe came up at $114/night. Pretty decent for a Holiday weekend.


Sorry. forgot. May 1 to Sept 30.

Lots of regulations tho. Resort Fees are not included. Some locales may have blackouts or minimum stays.

But seems like a decent enough deal. Hey, 25% is still 25%

I believe it's *any* Visa signature card, and that includes the Chase United Signature. I was able to enter the reservation portal using the number on my Chase United Card, though I did not complete the reservation because the discount only applied to the "lesser" Hilton (further from center) in Dublin.

Nice promotion if you can find a hotel that participates in it in your area of interest.
I have two reservations coming up in June and none of the hotels participated in the promo.

Thanks for posting OP. I managed to get a very nice rate at the ORD Hilton for September!

I checked some Hiltons in Hawaii, the 25% off rate was a couple of bucks HIGHER than the AAA rate. So much for 25% off BAR.

That's the nicer property, BTW.

What defines a "signature" card - is this a US concept?

mapsmith: Thanks for the link. Chicago Drake Hotel can be had in early June under $120. Amazing.

Offer is valid for Visa Infinite and Visa Signature cardholders globally. Offer is valid for Visa Platinum cardholders residing in Latin America, the Caribbean, South Africa, and Asia Pacific.
I tried the offer with an US Visa Signature (yielding an excellent rate), while a US Visa Platinum and a Swiss Visa Gold didn't make the cut. The rate (PR24VC, not on the triple miles blacklist) appears to be somewhere between prepaid and flex, with an unspecified cancellation fee if not cancelled 3 days prior to arrival.

I must say I'm a bit ticked off that there is never any such offer for the more heavily promoted Amex Hilton card.

Visa Signature cards are getting some nice perks like this one. You can also get 2 for 1 through Fandango (go to FatWallet if you want the deal). As a note, some cards that are not marked Visa Signature still are accepted -- for example my Chase United Visa doesn't say signature anywhere on it but it works for both of these promotions. So try a few different Visas.

Also, I think that if you can find (google or friend) a Visa signature card and book the rate, its probable you can pay with any card once the rate is set. Of course, they may have found a way to limit what card you book with, and to limit any changes to the reservation, and to limit just changing the card when you checkin....

It would be awesome to book with the Visa and pay with the Surpass card (9 HH points per dollar).

Upon research I have found that this discount matches advance purchase non-refundable rates at some Hilton HHonors properties, but allows cancellation of a reservation up to three days in advance with no penalty.

That in and of itself is worth something.

That is what I did at the Hilton New Orleans Riverside. I didn't do it on purpose, when I checked in, gave the AMEX card by mistake. Realized it later, asked what the rate was at front desk, and was given the Visa 25% off rate of $89.25 for a weekend. YMMV.

I was wondering whether that would work (on purpose). Once Hilton gives you the rate, I figure the hotel will just ask you to pay that amount and not check to see that you are actually paying a VISA Signature card. Of course, you risk getting a bill later for the extra 25%.

Well, this rate just saved me money on a room at the Hilton Petaling Jaya hotel later this month.

Works on the Hilton Brussels City but I'm thinking the Spring deal is actually better, although it costs more.

Spring deal is 89 euros/night but includes breakfast; 25% deal off is 74.50 euros per night but without breakfast. I can get a continental breakfast outside the hotel for perhaps 10 euros or so...saving me 4.5 euros/night. Or I can take the Spring deal and get a much better breakfast for the extra 4.5 euros. Easy decision, methinks.
