Points for Hilton reservation - Basic question from newbie !
 

Please excuse the basicness of this question. I am not a frequent Hilton stayer but am Silver with 27,000 points, so am not familiar with the point redemption process.

I find the HHonors website unhelpful !

I have a reservation at the Conrad HKG for an executive room on a very attractive internet only (MG) rate. I am not clear if I can use my points to get a free night, or a 3 for 2 or 4 for 3 free night. The HKG Conrad seems to participate in the last two of these promotions, but from what I understand of the website I cant use the points in relation to an existing internet booking.

Have I misunderstood or is there anything that I can do ?

That hotel is a category 6 so it takes 40,000 points for one night at the regular rate. If one of the nights you will be there falls during the "point stretcher" dates you could get one night for 24,000 points. If that works just change your reservation to one less night and use the points for that night.

Thanks for that suggestion. Is there any way to integrate the points into a 4 for nights for 3 award (many less points)?

Also if I book an extra night with points will I still get an exec level room ???

In answer to your first question, not that I am aware of. As far as being able to keep your exec level room there is no guarantee but if you use your paid stays for the first three nights and the award stay on the last night there is probably a good chance they wouldn't move you.
