My stay completed yesterday shows in the list as pending, with no points and my stay count hasn't moved.
Can anyone who has had a stay eventually post with stay credit and points confirm whether this is what they experienced?

Hope it wasn't Manchester Airport Hilton. I've had several problems this year with them refusing to give points and credits for discounted rates. Eventually got them by bypassing hotel and contacting Hhonors direct.

I also had problems with Manchester Airport Hilton a few years ago and after that have always made sure I get a copy of the bill before leaving!

A big thank you to the OP on this thread! I've just had points (including the extra 1,000 Q4 promo) and one stay credited for a night at Brisbane Hilton last Sunday on the thank you rate.
Despite the ridiculously low rate (AU$101) I got upgraded to an Executive room with lounge access, water bottle, a free husband (OK, not quite that exciting, it was the 'spouse stays free')
and early check in no probs. Mr GoneTroppo had to leave very early to catch a flight, so they happily offered a free room service coffee and a breakfast box for him. Great service.
There were rates as low as AU$88 this week - crazy!
I also booked a 2 bed residence at Surfers Paradise Hilton on the thank you rate (AU$234) for a short family trip. Looking forward to that!

Hi there - just gold, so who knows, you might be lucky with a suite?! Remember the lounge closes soon for Christmas - last night this Friday I think.

Hilton: Up to 50% Off Between December 14 to January 7
I've just made a reservation using corporate rate, which is much higher than the TY offer, will I be able to cancel it and make a new reservation? Or can I apply the BRG?
Thank you for your advice!

BRG doesn't apply in your case, it refers to lower rates quoted on OTHER SITES compared to Hilton.com.

I am in the same boat as you. Checked out yesterday and still waiting for points and stays to post. Mine post typically within 48 hours so I would not worry about it until tomorrow morning (or the best case scenario tonight).

The available rooms at this rate may be gone now. That happened in NYC when I was checking earlier. There were rooms available at that rate and then they were gone for the date I was looking. You might want to keep trying.

Careful when you book with this rate - make sure the hotel isn't only accepting it as a nonrefundable rate. The Embassy Suites Downtown/Lakefront in downtown Chicago is nonrefundable on this rate (but still refundable on other rates such as MVP). The other downtown Embassy Suites just a few blocks away is the same price (at least for the dates around NYE that I'm seeing) and is refundable even on the Thank You rate.
I've booked eight different Hilton properties on this promotion for a long upcoming road trip, and the Embassy Suites Downtown/Lakefront in Chicago was the only one that I saw that did the non-refundable bit, so I don't think it's very common. Still worth paying attention though.

Stayed 2 nights at the Hilton Clearwater Beach this past weekend checking out Sunday. Looked this morning and saw the points post with all the usual bonuses (points & points + diamond + booked online + Q4 promo) along with status stay-basepoints-nights credits posting.
This is the typical turnaround for Hilton points to post - don't expect them to post until 2 days after checkout. You will be able to see the receipt online the day after with a pending points status; the points process is separate from the receipt process.
