So lets recap.

There's a benefit the OP knew all about, but not the conditions in the same size text the very next few words after the benefit.

They knew they were going to go someplace for months, but instead of even trying to get a room at what is probably one of the busiest times of the year, they decided to rely on the half of the benefit they wanted to believe in, and decided to wait until the last two weeks to try and force somebody out of their room.

Yet it's Hilton's fault somehow.

I'll stand by what I said earlier, this is the funniest thread in ages (I really hate all those animated talking youtube videos for every airline, airport, hotel program, checkpoint out there), and it just keeps getting better and better.
