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.

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.

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.

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....
