I am also more interested in the tier qualification, Looking to maintain Diamond cheaply!

Tonight is the second of 2 stays, which if they count will mean I requalify for Diamond.
One stay was £34/ $55 and the other £26/ $42, so not expecting many base points!
Although if the Q3 offer is still running for 1,000 extra points and my Diamond extra 1,000 Points means I could get 2,000 points per stay on that alone!

When I tried to book with this promo rate, there was this message in the rate details

Up to 50 percent off our best unrestricted rate Room only Limited time offer Rate must be requested by name to be booked by HRCC TEAM MEMBERS, FRIENDS AND FAMILY WWW.HHONORS.COM/THANKYOU HILTON PARTNERS, WWW.HHONORS.COM/FRIENDSANDFAMILY


Should I have any problem at check-in because of the requirement ?

Hmm, didn't see that when I booked it. Guess they changed it?

yes, this is new. Just did a dummy booking at a hotel and this language now appears next to the rate. This certainly was not there. Quick, take screen shots of the promo's T&Cs before they change it to read specifically that no stay/night credits can be earned with this rate.

This thread is getting rather lengthy, but there have been several comments about that question and the answer is, No, you won't have any problem.

Rates under this promo in Washington DC at the beginning of January have roughly doubled in the past couple of hours.

Are you logged into your HHonors account when you try to book? Try logging out and see if that helps. It has rectified many HHonors web site issues for me in the past just by following this process.

On one of my reservations, it said that. Then when I actually completed the reservation it was Thank You rate and the T&C for that rate came Up. I just completed that particular stay reserving two rooms checking out today and My folio shows the points earned. Had no problem at all.

This doesn't seem to work for any Doubletrees in the UK.
The rate appears on the property listing page, but trying to book it gives a 'None of the requested rates are available.' and only the standard rates.

My stay (checked out 16th) is pending as well...(Fingers crossed ) but seems like this should count for everything.
I can confirm full credit on everything, points, fixed miles, and stay credit.
Same here ^

Can we finally put the question whether this earns points/stay credit to rest? We all know that if you call Hilton Diamond line you will receive different answer pretty much very time. Phone customer service is not the greatest strength of the Hilton's program.
