hilton san diego mission valley on hotels.com and expedia both show $67(free cancel) for 12/25-26 and on hilton.com shows $89. As i see there is solid reason to admit the brg. And BRG opportunities exist for most dates around christmas for this hotel.
I have tried it on sunday but then you can see what happens to me here (the last few posts)

on sunday it showed $53 and when i come back to check its rates on monday it becomes $89 and today it recovers to $67. (well so now it is so clear hilton did something against my brg)
I am just a newbie and budget traveler and do not want to argue about it again to hilton. But you experienced and having elite status with hilton may get better response from the bad brg customer service and get bonus from this brg.
btw i wrote it here because i think it is a deal for you..
