I was informed I had "last year's voucher" and the price was now $110; however, as a gesture of welcome "I would only be charged $100".
Maybe to save typing it so often, I'll devise a macro that says:


"There were TWO sets of vouchers- DIAMOND CLUB and PREMIUM CLUB, and there are indeed slight differences in content and offers and prices. "




Hey, these are 'bearer bonds'. They have a clear expiry date, and within that period yes indeedy they are $NZ100 a night (GST included) at Auckland Hilton. As for being "last year's voucher" most of us got them THIS year!

So you'll be fine. ^

And there is around your $A200 member value right there based on the usual $300 a night (inc GST) lowest room rate there most nights.
