For what is worth - this is absolutely pathetic, before the sale became bookable and after it became
bookable
FYI, two screen shots - before it was bookable and when it became bookable ...?[img]webkit-fake-url://1f567e5c-d008-4b2b-ad17-1a8e304974f7/imagejpeg[/img][img]webkit-fake-url://cc210cb6-4753-4eef-836c-acdb7c89162a/imagejpeg[/img]

Any thoughts on whether booking a US resort with this sale will generate the $45 Amex special offer credit? I have a two night stay booked at a Hilton resort and this will save me an additional 10% over the AAA refundable rate, but if I don't get the $45 Amex credit it it becomes a wash. I'm really looking to unlock the $45 Doubletree offer from Amex which requires receiving the $45 resort credit first since I have a DT stay prior to the resort stay. Not worried about the $250 resort credit as my DT stay is at a qualifying property.
I guess the bottom line is does this get booked through the hotel or is an advanced purchase which would foul things up for me?

can't even see any sale rates for any of the hotels I checked out in Aus.
lol, this is 90% empty cheapest price, 90% empty with 30% discount, but 25-40% more expensive. That is kind of pathetic/illegal.
edit: none of the hotels that are listed as being on sale actually have any sale rates. Like the flash sale doesn't even show up
edit2: some are available through the link, certain hiltons has jacked up prices 40%, and reduced them 30%. Only a few actually have sales.

So maybe I should be grateful that HK and Japan are excluded from this sale. Going by what's above that will actually make them cheaper than they otherwise would have been!

Wow thanks to this sale, I'm saving about AU$300 for a stay at the Melbourne Doubletree! I guess I was a bit late, as all of the days weren't available at the sale price, and the non-sale prices are higher than the AARP price I had locked in.
Nothing for Cairns, and the Sydney properties have very slim pickings, nothing that works for me.
Is Korea not included?

So I happened to have looked at the rates for the Amsterdam Airport Hilton just a ew days ago for an upcoming stay. The sale price today is about 20 Euros lower. (150 instead of 170) for a night next week.

I took a look at my local and I am very surprised to see amazing availability of discounted rooms, with some days as low as $129, a rate I have not seen for years.
