What surprised me most was staff refused inputting my Gold HHonors for incidentals. Couldn't find this anywhere in terms and conditions. First time I have had this outlandishly denied without proof. Is this standard now? If so, will have to reconsider future Hilton stays. Would have been more convenient eating at hotel and connecting to Internet there rather than going out, but if no points, what's the point?
I've found this quite often (more often than not) to be the case at Hiltons when one hasn't booked on hilton.com

Yeah, if they're trying to salt in non-consecutive days and the 2-day restriction, you can see where it's heading. I also notice tons of banner ads on FT. Am glad they're helping Randy with expenses and all that, but if they put up 4 consecutive nights in Manhattan (or even New Orleans) at $10 without strings they'd hardly need to advertise.
I do wonder if behind all this is a LMT executive who's getting bashed for not having enough traffic on the site vs. competitors. If so, it wouldn't be the only Internet business suffering under that metric. Traffic on eBay listings is about half what it was 2 years ago, and it's hard to make good things happen as long as that's the case.
NYC deal is definitely not working from jul 24th to aug 10th.... hopefully it will be updated soon because that is when i'm going to be in the area... i would definitely go for a $10 room...
The two hotels in Gothenburg are Scandic Europa and Scandic Crown. Two nights min but you get the 10USD rate for both nights. Can anyone confirm if you earn stay credit using these rates?
If they are, what I would do is keep trying in the days ahead. One thing I found when booking my friends Houston Hilton Post Oak $10 per night reservation a couple of weeks ago was that the $10 inventory - which sold out for my friends dates - was added again later in the week after I booked it.
