For discussion of the nature of Hilton certificates (actual? virtual?), at least WRT AXON reward bookings, see
post 634 & surrounding discussion from Feb 2013.
Short version: there was a lot of chatter last year about being able to make AXON bookings more than a year ahead. Numerous people, including the post 634 author, warned that reservations of this sort were highly risky & could result in what happened above (showing up to find the room no longer booked/held). And yes, I see that the latest inquiry is about P&C, not AXON, but many of the same considerations/risks apply.
