Ah, I see. Was wondering why the rather aggressive all red post after mine.

If the rate is even available for the hotel. Don't expect to be booking prime resorts in the heat of summer.

Right. I didn't want to bother friend about any of this if not really worth it bc she is extremely busy with some personal stuff right now. I'll probably wait a few days then ask. I wish there was a way to know what to look for from a regular HH account to see about availability for F&F. I suppose if she adds me to her group then I can use the perk in the future. I have a backup rez so not a big deal for this particular trip.

Looking at booking the Hilton Marsa Alam Nubian Resort, which is an all inclusive property. In the property specific thread there are reports that points bookings get the all inclusive - could I expect the same for a Go rate?
I attempted to ask Hilton chat but the agent did not understand the question...

I'm looking to make a booking 6 months out but the hotel is not showing any availability for friends and family rates. Do hotels release more F&F rates closer to the date of the stay? How about when an existing F&F booking is cancelled, do they get returned to the F&F inventory?

Sorry for the double post, I'm new and have many questions:

1) If I book a F&F rate but then cancel the reservation, will the F&F night be returned to the 70 night allotment for the team member?

This is answered here, a link to this can be found on the Go Hilton booking page.

thanks, the link does not clarify if I cancel a reservation, will the F&F night be added back to the 70 allotment?

Fair. That one is not answered in the publicly listed documentation.

To answer your question - if cancelled before the cancellation deadline it returns to the allotment. If after the deadline or goes to no show it does not.
