First time doing this. I have ski trip next week to Jackson Hole and had a 5-night reservation booked for a while. For some reason tonight I asked myself, “Does Hilton have a best rate guarantee?”. After a quick google I had my answer.
My reservation was made weeks ago, so it wasn’t eligible, but it was still within the cancellation window. So I called the Diamond desk to see if they could make me a new one applying the BRG, and then cancel my old one.
Sure enough they were able to validate it over the phone using Hotels.com. The rate only went from $149 to $136, but the extra 25% was huge. The total went from $792 to $555! Can’t beat saving over $230 just for making a quick phone call! More money for aprés ski beers!
