When I do a search using the use HHonors Points checkbox I see:
"The requested rate is not available. View other available rooms and rates below."
Can someone confirm that weekend is already booked for points? Or are they maybe available but just my account is throwing an error because I have so few points?
When signed in as diamond I can see rooms available that weekend, but at a relatively high rate of 174,800 points per night. If you are looking at less than five nights, I consider 80,000 per night to be a decent rate at GW. If you stay 5 nights, fifth night is free, so rate is 64,000 per night.
You want to keep checking, as availability and rates will change between now and March.
Consider Citi Hilton Reserve card, with 2 free weekend night certificates and Hilton Gold Status. Free Night certs would probably not apply to rates over 80,000 per night, but YMMV.
