No success here. Found rates on c trip for both Conrad Hong Kong a day Shanghai Waldorf. Hilton BRG desk says the prepay rates on ctrip are to pay the third party and therefore opaque channels. Also won't receive diamond benefits if you use the third party even though it is clearly labeled on the website. You don't get an immediate confirmation, it happens after the hotel is contacted a d approved. I almost wish we didn't know about the , over rates so we could decide what to do. Pay the hi lo ton rate with benefits and accrual of nights etc or pay the discounted rate.
