Here is what we know as per post# 42.

• Points Only AND Points & Cash stays eligible for this if the Cash portion is paid with a Visa? Yes - just make sure the stay is booked through the app and that you're registered for the promotion. For Points Only stays charging incidentals to a Visa card will trigger the bonus points.
• What if there are multiple forms of tender (i.e. a Visa credit card and a Hilton gift card)? If the stay comes through with a Visa payment, you will receive the bonus.
• What about a special rate, like AAA? AAA is an eligible rate which means the rate will award promotional credit if you meet all of the other criteria (registered, booked via mobile app, paid with Visa).
• If a stay was booked prior to the promotion being announced, will it still be eligible as long as it was booked through the app and a Visa is used to pay for the stay upon check out? A stay booked through the app prior to the campaign that is completed during the campaign is eligible as long as the you're registered for the promotion before check-out.
• Is the UK version of the Hilton Visa card eligible?/Is a non-Hilton HHonors Visa card eligible? Yes, all Visa cards worldwide are eligible for the offer.
• Is this offer limited to one stay? No, as long as you're meeting all the conditions of the promotional offer (registered, booked through the app, paid with a Visa) this is an unlimited offer for any eligible stay through January 2017.

Why not both? Charge $250 to Amex and x amount to any Visa.

Thanks Lauren- those terms are very generous. I particularly appreciate the fact that stays booked earlier will count now that I've registered.

Does this also apply for pre-paid rates? I would assume yes, but just to check...

Another question regarding this 5k promotion! Anyone know if Visa debit cards, as opposed to credit cards, would be valid?

My credit cards are all Mastercard or Amex but I do have UK Visa debit card I could use! I know the terms say "any visa card" but just wondered if anyone had experience with this.

Had a stay last night. It felt a little weird to pay with my Marriott Visa card but so be it.

Worked on my last stay using a Visa Debit card using the credit button. I have a mastercard on file for bookings and at checkin asked to swap the room hold to my visa card and points came through.

I did not exactly got my answer, AAA rate is not a corporate account.
Can you please confirm that if I will use corporate account, then I will be eligible for this promotion?
For example, I am working for GE, if I will use GE account for booking and paying for my stay, will I be eligible for this promotion?

Hi all,

Corporate rates are eligible if they're booked through the app and the stay is paid using a Visa card. Also, please make sure you're signed up for the promotion to receive the Bonus.

Thank you!
Lauren

Lauren, you stated above that "If a stay was booked prior to the promotion being announced, will it still be eligible as long as it was booked through the app and a Visa is used to pay for the stay upon check out? A stay booked through the app prior to the campaign that is completed during the campaign is eligible as long as the you're registered for the promotion before check-out."

Does that apply to stays booked and pre-paid through the app with a Visa card prior to the promotion and completed during the promotion period?

Are pure award bookings eligible for this promotion if an incidental is charged with a visa?
