Dear Hilton Program
 

Please keep sending us options for more Q3FN certs.

I got another one in the email today and still have 9 in my bank total. I'll take those over points any day of the week.

That is all.

They really rock, don't they? the only downside is the expiry date. Wish one could pony up $50 or something and extend the timeframe...

What promotion is still providing these?

The one that was targeted back on Sept 1, in which most of us called the DDesk and begged our way onto the program. It was offered as 10nights/25k points *or* 10 nights/free cert.

I've hit 20 nights since Sept 1 and just got my second cert. It's identical to the ones from earlier this year, even marked "Q3FN" and useable at Cat 7's.

I agree. Keep the Q3FNs coming! I've earned 18 certs this year so far, with plenty of time to go.

It's too good of a program. So good that Hilton probably won't offer anything similar in 2011.

I'll hit the 18 cert mark by year's end. Have only used 5 to date. Will use 3-4 more by New Year's and carry over a week's worth. So nice to have those things banked and rarely touch my points balance.

i would much rather have the points....the certs come with an expiry date, the points do not....

Agreed. I don't like anything with expiration dates including food.

If you plan to redeem points for free nights within one year from now, it's better to go for free night certs instead of points.

there is no gaurantee when i'll be able to redeem points....it may be next year & it may not be for the next few years....i have had many certificates go to waste because they all expired before i had a chance to use them....
