Hilton 30% off sale for Summer 2010: The “Great Getaway” Rate
Nassetta (we need to make a pejorative nickname for this guy!) has announce via Barbara DeLollis' blog on the USA Today that Hilton will be offering a 30% off sale for this summer. The deal is valid between May 28 and September 6. The rate also includes breakfast and is valid at 3,500 HW hotels.
Though this is only one line in his guest blog post with no additional information or links, it's safe to assume this is an Advance Purchase rate. My reaction: meh. I don't use Advance Purchase rates for anything, so this doesn't move me back to Hilton. Link to Hotel Check In Blog - Nassetta's Post What do you think? |
"Today I am announcing here for the first time that, beginning on May 10, guests can receive up to a 30% discount for stays between May 28 and September 6, 2010 at most of our 3,500 hotels around the world. The reduced rate also includes free breakfast."
You will be able to buy the advance purchase rates starting May 10. I liked the January sale where you could save up to 50 percent off weekend rates mainly at international hotels. I would like to see Hilton do a 50 percent advance purchase rate sale vlaid on any date at any hotel. |
Pure rubbish as all legit HH promos are announced days or weeks after the effective date.

I don't get it...
"Once a guest joins our loyalty program, they rarely leave. "
--> check Leaving HH "That type of allegiance is invaluable to our business, but we also understand that long-term customer loyalty needs to be earned and maintained over time. " Oh, ok! That's why there are all these promos targeted at new/inactive HH members and none targeted at loyal members who spend a s...load of money at Hilton already. "For example, today I am announcing here for the first time that, beginning on May 10, guests can receive up to a 30% discount for stays between May 28 and September 6, 2010 at most of our 3,500 hotels around the world. " --> and how does this reward loyal Hilton customers? "We typically run more than 1,000 targeted promotions a year " --> good to know! I rake up anything above 100.000 base points a year and I did not recieve a single one. |
Boo, hiss. +1 on 'nothing will convince me to book an advance purchase, even a big discount' since the money you save<money lost if plans change.
Even assuming this is true. Personally, I'd like to see the Q2 challenge extended, since it's got me motivated to shoot for Diamond this year... |

what would be the point in targetting you? You already give them the business. Promotions are not rewards, they exist to drum up more business.

Too bad if these are APR. I almost never book APR because I like flexibility.

i miss the visa 25% sale....that was really a good offer....made most of my reservations last year through this promo....
|
I am planning a road trip this summer to New Mexico and Utah. If this promo gives 30% off the BAR at all Hilton family hotels (Hampton Inns, Hilton Gardens, etc) then this will be a good deal. I don't mind pre-paid rates if I am going to be saving $30-$50 a night.
