If I give you the Member for a stay card that serfty has offered to give me then you can save $100+ off your booking and you can reimburse me the ~$30 I was going to save and we both win.
And you can still buy me a beer or two.

Have my return flight sorted - a QF JASA that merely needs a date change. Looks like I'll come over on Wed, work Thu & Fri and return home on Sun...so colour me Plat and my return flight is QF594 Dep 4.45pm Sun 26/5. Will sort VA flight over to PER soonish.
Edit: Have booked Hilton on AAA rate for 4 nights ($223 pn). Twin room booked. Can add another guest if needed for weekend. Can also probably find some HPC Member for a Stay card(s) - will have a look and report back

Platinum for me (as I'll link it to a business trip) and Gold for Mrs QF WP - she may not want to fly over by herself, unless she can link up with other FT'ers. I think this will be a weekend where the kids will definitely be at their grandparents.
Time to book a flexible room at the Hilton and watch for sales to reduce the price.

Mrs QF WP is still listed as gold

Not sure how you would go with HHonors benefits or getting stay credit.

Well, I hope I won't be there (nothing sinister, just a RTW I hope to be taking at that time ), but just in case I made a Hilton booking on the 7th for AUD185 per night Fri-Sun inclusive (AAA rate) - bog standard room.

54 Platinums showing ... looks like a big weekend.
Virgin has another one of those Amex deals where a couple would save $100 off Flexi fares, that we just used for our flights over.

Thanks for the heads up - converted a $165 flexi "twin" booking to a $146 "AnyWeekend"er 'Queen' ($117 with Maq Premium).
I'm sure you're happier:
Still have a flexi "twin" at $235 for the Saturday night.
I cancelled a 50K HH award for Thursday night replacing it with a 25K PC award at the nearby Holiday Inn (don't get into town 'til nearly 9pm Thursday).
