Can't find any openings logging in from Japan going out to June 2020 either in regular or incognito or logged in. This seems like some of the system glitches I'd get on United for a $1M airline ticket to Asia in coach. Wish I could say the same for the recent clandestine points redemption baseline hikes based on the properties I know over here.

I can see cash bookings in incognito mode (though not on an availability calendar, only on specific dates), but not in a regular browser. It’s incredibly weird.

Cannot find revenue or award availability on Waldorf/Hilton site . Tried logged in and not logged in. A few months a go I switched my July WA reservations back to CR ... So far I think (??) I'm glad ....

Reminder to enroll in the Double Points promotion before your upcoming stays (for those before September 6th), and to complete at least 1 stay before your trip at a Hilton hotel. The 20 extra points earned by being Diamond would more than makeup for a cheap Hilton stay elsewhere.

Called in yesterday night to the Hilton honors 800 number for the Walforf Astoria Maldives to add one of my hilton certificates and cant seem to book a night at the Waldorf astoria Maldives. I tried multiple times with different people at the Hilton honors phone number 800-548-8690 and every person from Hilton kept saying Waldorf Astoria Maldives has been Terminated. Not sure what that mean. What is going on? Haha
You cant book via the app and you cant book via the website.
I have a 6 night reservation currently and was calling to add another one night but it doesnt look like that's gonna happen now Haha. At least for now.

Although i I am in contact with a reservation manager and he gives me no reason to think there is any issues.
I need to book another night at hotel but can’t as well.
very very odd what’s going on with their online system.

Same here. Looking at dates at the end of February 2020 and rates are only visible when using incognito mode in my browser. Very odd.

On the plus side I have bee dialoging with hotel directly on our upcoming July stay and it seems business as usual. So perhaps just a glitch while they prep for the full July 1st launch.

If incognito mode is giving different results then a) it's going through a proxy before it gets to Hilton's servers (this might depend on the browser used, i.e; some browsers may use one), and or b) users with old (non-expired) cookies and old cache content will see something different, i.e; inentory still available until they try and book. Whatever the case, all inventory is offline (which is hardly a surprise) because they are playing around with the HTML. Relax people, the hotel isn't going to close up shop before they've opened.....

If you don't have a prior Hilton stay during the promotion period to trigger the double points, you'd get only 20 points per dollar spent here.
Hilton points are generally valued at half a cent each, though there can obviously be better uses.
This means that double points means you'll get an extra 5% rebate off your bill.
I agree people should estimate what their bill will be at WA Ithaafushi and decide if they should try to manufacture a stay at a cheap Hilton somewhere before staying here to trigger the double points.
I had a points stay at a Hampton Inn last month, and I'm told that will qualify to trigger double points here.
I also plan to use my Hilton Aspire AMEX $250 resort credit here.

With the Hilton Aspire AMEX, you'd also get 14x points extra.
That comes to 44 HH points to the $.

Let's say I have a $10,000 spend, will I earn 300,000 points? [that's around 4 nights at the Conrad Rangali]
