For instance, looking at the week of 8/21 or 8/28 i'm finding NIGHTLY rates of 157,000 points just for a garden room...quite demotivating; I would have to rack up a ton of points over the next 8 months to make that worth it...
Does a phone call to Hhonors help to reduce points? Also, by next week I will have achieved Diamond (from Gold)...will this make a difference?
Thanks all!
I booked for August 2016 well over two months ago and it was 80k per night, less when you factor in the 5th night free. I would look later or just keep checking every day incase they get rewards at a lower rate again. The likelihood is that they have sold all their rooms at the 80k rate already.
Everyone has the same idea of going there on points, so hilton is only going to have so many rooms available at that point level, not every room. The same applies to flights.
