Using fifth night free internationally?
Hello, I have been unsuccessful at trying to figure out if there is a limitation that the "fifth night free" must be used in the USA. Are there limits on using it internationally? I've actually never used it at all, because I never had enough points before, but have recently done some of the big bonus credit cards and am now looking at vacation options...any BTDTs? Thank you!

There are no limitations on where it can be used. Try booking your preferred hotel on points for 5 nights and the correct points will display.

Yes. Did that internationally and the points are averaged automatically. No difference whatsoever.

Yeah, what will happen is if your hotel is 50k points per night, when you search for a 5 day booking, the points per night will drop to 40k, so instead of 250k it will be 200k, so in essence 5th night free.

It isn't obvious when you're trying to book it unless you know how Hilton.com will respond.

That is very helpful, and thank you for saying it's not obvious so I feel less silly. I'm going to try that now.
