So, are Point Stretcher dates EVER going to be posted for 1Q 2003?
I've been trying to book a PS award in Phoenix for mid-January and apparently PS dates have not been posted (for anywhere, not just PHX) yet. Is this typical? It seems kind of silly to wait until the last minute like this to post PS dates for the immediately following quarter.
Anyone with any further info? Thanks.

I'm assuming that they are waiting as long as possible, because they want to see what level of advance revenue bookings at each property are being made, before deciding how strongly to push Hhonors stays there.

My ?? exactly!
One of the very few hotels which has posted PS dates is the Hilton GI of Addison, Illinois, a Chicago suburb.
Try calling the sales mgr. of your desired hotel on Monday. I called the DT of Downtown Chicago near Rush St. & Mike the SM told me one week each in Jan., Feb. & March 9-17.
Step 2: Book with HHonors desk as Standard reward.
Step 3: Call HHonors again when PS posts & have them convert your res. to PS. Or call the SM immediately & ask him/her to do so.

What if someone booked a reward stay at Taipei Hilton for 2003? Will they honor?

uh oh... well it seems you can still book rooms here, so i wonder if these count towards stays...
with rewards - rewards are not bookable at the hilton taipei... i've been askign hhhonors for ages, but this has now clarified everything.
now, does anyone have suggestions on other hotels in taipei they can recommend?
