In reality, most hotels give you the above-mentioned benefits regardless of the booking source.

For people who do a mattres run, it might be important to avoid hotels which do not give stay credits if the reservation is done with a 3rd party website.

Therefore, let's create a list with those hotels who do not give you night credits on 3rd party bookings:

Germany
Hilton Mainz - 2008/01/25

Switzerland
Hilton Zurich Airport - 2007/12/21

Why do we need a list? You don't get credit for 3rd party bookings, PERIOD. Hilton HHonors T&C have been very clear about this since 2002 (IIRC).

I don't understand how this is beneficial since everyone knows they must book an eligible rate, via phone with a Hilton rep or Hiltons internet site.

Is there something I'm missing or not understanding?
