I hope OTAX ( tripple miles ) will be more "productive" for us than ODAX ( double miles ) has been so far. No matter how much I tried to enter Offer Code into the "promotion/Offer code" field, it never showed up in my reservation. Thus no double miles. BTW, there is a current thread going on this subject. Good luck with the tripple miles promotion.

Bonus showed up quick
Amex 3x (1,500 NW) promo miles showed up right away with HHonors points post 2 days after check out from Homewood stay. OTAX code never changed rate or showed up in any way on reservation confirmation page. Cool, too bad it expires so soon, 12/30/04. One thing to make sure of is that HHonors earning style includes miles, I used points + standard miles to get the 1,500 for one night. One stay from re-qualifying for Gold, might need a MR.

How to "extend" this offer
This is just my experience, but I just booked a few stays at the Palmer House in Chicago in January, and one of the room rate types available was "EARN TRIPLE AIRLINE MILES WITH PARTICIPATING PARTNERS". You don't even have to use AMEX. Here is what the description looks like:
Plan Description:
EARN TRIPLE AIRLINE MILES WITH
PARTICIPATING PARTNERS. PRESENT FF# AT
RESERVATION
I don't know if this will last past January or which hotels are offering it, but it might be worth taking a look for it if you are planning hotel stays past Dec. 30th.
Good luck!

You have to "fight" for you triple miles!
I had a recent stay under the triple miles code (OTAX), at Double Tree in San Jose. When I viewed my account online, I noticed that had received the normal miles entry. I called the HiltonHonors customer service line and after speaking to the answering rep and then with the HiltonHonors manager who indicated that my "rate did not qualify" and "was not properly booked online" I protested strongly.
Was it worth $14.50? (approx value of the points) Maybe not. But, really, it was the principal of the whole process. Under my protest my account finally received the full triple credit!
Remember people, if you think you should receive something and you don't...always call the customer relations.
Good luck with the rest of you! If any of you had a smooth credit for your triple miles...let us know!

Not Targeted
I called 800 HHonors and had them add OTAX to our current AAA rate resv as it wasn't showing up on anything I tried online. No problem, rate stayed the same and miles posted right away.

Now, if I could get 1.5 RR credits for Hilton chain stays until 12/30/04 at a good rate, I might try to find a low priced property or two. Anyone know of any really good weekend or weekday rates in the SF Bay Area?
Thanks for the help!

P.S. There are a lot of airline partners where you could really rack up the miles/points. BMI for example gives 1000 miles PER NIGHT. If you had a 3-night stay for example, you could pull in 9,000 miles! Qantas is 1000 miles per stay so that would be 3,000 miles on this promo. Really good. Oh, there I go again... feeling woozy.
