I'll travel to Uluru, where the room and food prices seem to be 3x typical Australia prices. That's why signing up for Plus can make sense, as long as I can redeem the free nights.

Is there a way to check beforehand that I can redeem the free night certs?

Also, can I get my membership package mailed to the USA? I can get it sent to people I know in China, but it seems a hassle for them to photo and email me the certificates. (I will make it to China beforehand to pick up all the materials.)

Gosh - every time I stay at Hilton abroad, it feels almost like being in the USA. - So thanks for helping me get a more foreign flavor
