I'm thinking about treating myself to a stay at the New York W=A this June, for three reasons:
1.) I haven't stayed there since '94 and have very fond memories (
)
2.) I'm trying to make Diamond this year and don't mind spending the extra cash for a nice stay.
3.) There is a "triple HHonors points" rate showing for the dates I want which would significantly lessen the pain of parting with so much cash.
We all know the rule:
HHonors Members cannot accrue more than 100,000 Base points during one stay, except for Homewood Suites by HiltonŽ hotels for check-in dates on or after January 1, 2006.
With the triple points, HHonors+HHonors double dip, and Gold HHonors 25% bonus, my stay could earn me well over 100K points.
So the way I read this rule, as long as the base points only are below 100K, all other points will accrue to the maximum?
Also if the spending goes above the base point rate of 100K, will it just credit me the 100K as a base rate points "cap" but allow the bonus points to accrue to their maximum value?
I couldn't find any posts specifically addressing this in past threads.
