Anyone have any experience paying the CC up-front Net Direct rates in cash?? I know Holiday Inn and Sheraton has been okay with me booking Internet Rates downpayment via a CC, arrive on time, and at checkout I can still pay in cash with no charges to my card. Only an itchy trigger finger at a 4PTS in SYD caused a charge with all this cash in my pocket, but does Hilton charge at web-booking, or can I pay at checkout in cash?? Thanks!
