I am looking at dates in Oktober, am I supposed to check the rates every day until my dates are there, canceling and re-booking constantly to get the best deal...??
In short , yes. Its no different then a car rental which rates goes up an down all day long. Now that Hilton has put a value on each pt that results in the amount needed for a stay going up or down every time the rate does, which in most cases is more then 1 time a day
You can always simply book at the prevailing amount and never check again, if the amount being asked is OK by you. I constantly recheck my car rentals up until the time I cant change it any longer. On recent trip to MIA I checked upon arrival and it was $20 less so I CXed the old and rebooked. I didnt have to recheck and many times it doesnt result in asavings
