That's not to say that Amex hasn't changed the rules now, but I've never had an issue as long as the spend occurred during the valid offer period..

Thinking of taking advantage of a Hilton 5000 MR point bonus, but the terms say Offer excludes online payments and is only valid on checkout spend.
I'm looking at booking a Hilton in Helsinki and the 5000 MR points aren't worth the difference going from pre-pay to pay on check-out.
Am I right in thinking though that if I book on Hilton.com, the payment will be taken directly from the hotel itself anyway, as though I had paid on check-out? So would it still track?
If it won't then I'll just used hotels.com for the same price and earn the free night credit.
