does "no show" count for BT2YM
I registered for the fast track to gold challenge in februrary so the 90 days are running out in may. i have three stays and got the bonuspoints, but i want the points for the fourth stay, too.
Questions:
1) Do I get the bonuspoints when i have a cc confirmed reservation and do not check in or cancel (I live in europe where are only expensive hilton properties).
2) Who knows the cheapest rate for hhonors points. today I got a mail from hilton with a US$44 rate at the niagara hilton, ontario for apr.29. lv hilton is usually $45 when booking on internet. anything cheaper around?
thanks!

It would count as long as an automatic HHonors posting hits your account for that no-show.
Make sure you give your HHonors number on the reservation to aid in getting credit for a no-show.
If you get charged for a no show with no credit to your HHonors account, you will not have any folio receipt to fax in to the service center so beware of that.

I have been told previously that you would not get credit for a no-show, even though you get charged for the room. The hotel considers the charge a penalty rather than a charge for the room. I believe it is the check-out process that triggers the points be transferred to your account, and without a check-out, there is no transfer.
It might seem unfair, since you are paying for the room, but without this procedure, people could just hunt all over the country for some special low rate, book it and not show up and get credit. It could potentially tie up lots of rooms in a hotel with no guest. Since most guests spend additional money on other services while in the hotel, it could also cost the hotel a bundle.

No-show points?
A co-worker of mine got credit for a no-show stay at the LV Hilton. His flight from the east was cancelled, and since he only had two days, he rescheduled. Forgot to cancel his reservation at LV Hilton, but got full credit. I didn't know Hilton would give HHonors credit for no shows. Is this a change?

I have had this happen at Hilton (as well as other hotels). I assume he was charged either the regular reservation rate, or a no-show charge--so therefore he would 'earn' points on those charges. Sometimes I receive those points automatically, other times, I just call HH & they then credit my account.

Yes, he was charged his room night since he didn't cancel in time. No big deal...it was $50 and, as I told him, he had PLENTY of time to let them know.
and YES, it counted as a stay toward status.

And, if you need to do a 'no show' for stays/bonuses or whatever, try the Hampton Inn - Niagra Falls NORTH at $37 a nite.

Last December I was a "no-show" due to a storm that grounded planes at a connecting airport. (The grounding happened too late to cancel the reservation in time to avoid "no-show" charge, although I did call in and tell them I wouldn't make it.)
I received full double-double credit for that one. (Don't know whether that was policy, or just something nice because it wasn't my fault I was a "no-show", but either way I appreciate it.)

Are "no-show" stays worth the 50k?
I signed my wife up for the new 50k promo and have been thinking that I should book 4 no-show stays (at $40 bucks a night) to get the 50k and eventually combine them with my account.
Spending 160 to get half of a GLON VIP reward makes sense doesn't it? Don't these rooms go for at least 160 a night?
