Booked a AXON, Showing up Online as C604. Normal?
Just got off the phone with a HHonors rep who told me that if you book an AXON, it'll show up as a C604 booking online. Is this correct?
Don't want to show up at the Waldorf in London with my AXON reward cert. only to be told that I need to cough up 40,000 more points.
Thanks.

All of my GLONP2 and AXON reward reservations made over the phone end up showing as standard awards in my online reservations page.
I usually call HH back and point this out to them and they will say that there is no problem.
I've never had a problem when arriving at the hotel. I've probably done about 6 or 7 of these types of rewards over the past 5 years.

I think I've seen this before.
Also, my current three-night award reservation coming up next week shows online as a C603, when in fact I have a C602 plus a one-night cert from last year's 5/10/15 promo. Presumably, there are system limitations that prevent them from categorizing the award res "properly," so they have to work around it. @:-)

When you make the reservation, you should get an email confirmation that correctly shows it as an AXON. It will be honored as that, even though subsequently it will show as a C604 online.

AXON Award Info?
Haven't tried to book one of these recently and did a search here and on the Hilton website on info on how to book - couldn't find it.
Anyone have the link to the web page on the Hilton website that describes this award? (Or maybe this option has gone the way of the do-do?)

I don't think you can book this one online, since it allows you to spend a lesser number of points than a normal award. I've always called the Diamond Desk to book them - I'd bet that you could do the same with the dedicated phone line for whatever elite level you are.

This is from HH website:
To redeem HHonors points for reward stays under reward code AXON, you must be an active Hilton HHonors Platinum Credit Cardmember. Reservations must be booked by calling 1-800-920-5649. All standard HHonors Reward Redemption and Hotel Rewards Terms and Conditions apply.

Thanks. 
I plugged in the wording from the above text, and found the actual link to the website page, replicated thus:

AXON = 4 nights at any category 6 and below property for 125k pts; must possess a Hilton Amex to book
ALON = GLON for Hawaii Properties.

I suspect the response will be no but I myself would be interested in the official answer.
