Can someone please help me clarify: I just made a reservation for Rome Cavalieri for 4 nights next June 2013 and the agent told me that AXON is not valid.
I was charged 170000 points where as my understanding is 145000.
Am i missing something here or agent was wrong?

I got answer to my own question: AXON is not applicable for WA properties.

Agree.
I booked one room on points and booked another on Cash(400 Euros/night). Agent told me that I can change it to points once I have 170000 points.

If all the standard rooms are gone when you have the 170K points, you will NOT be able to book a standard award even if you are holding a paid reservation. Booking a paid reservation has no bearing on booking an award one.

I just got approved for 2 citi Hilton cards and should be able to get points in a month. I will keep my fingers crossed.

AXON for multiple rooms?
Hi,
Sorry, I'm sure this has been asked before but can you tell me if I can book multiple rooms on the same dates for the same property using AXON? I want to take my wife and our parents on vacation, and am not sure if we can use the AXON rate for multiple rooms.
Thanks.

I don't know if there is a limit but I've had no issues booking two rooms using AXON awards.

Thanks for your responses.
I was looking to book two rooms as well. Wasn't sure if I could do that.

not a problem at all. You can book rooms for other guests at the AXON rate as long as you have the card and the points are coming out of your account.

I was able to spend 1500$ and statement closed yesterday and I got close to 53000 points and my second card spend is also met. This will close on 20th and I should get another 52000 points.

I was able to change the paid reservation to a points one(170000). So, happy ending for me here.
