Lots of Nights Just Opened Up
I've been watching the Conrad site daily for the past several months to book some extra rewards nights in June 2022. A whole bunch of nights (not just June) are available at 89000 today, and I just snagged the 3 nights I needed. Thought I'd give everyone a heads up!

Pooling was instant. What took some time was the purchased points on my fiancées account to come in. For me it took roughly 10 minutes for the points to post to my account (needed a small top-up for 7 nights) but then purchased points for two more nights on my fiancees account. In her account it took almost 48 hours for the points to post, but then when they were transferred to me it was instant.
Edit: I'm not sure Hilton really have pooling? I created a "pool" but that only sent her a link to transfer the points to me, nothing happened automatically. Not really a pool in my mind?

Just got back yesterday. We were upgraded to the Pool Overwater Villa Sunset for the entire stay. I originally upgraded two nights and took a risk that we would be in a garden villa for two days. We had a great time there and I will be booking again as soon as I see availability.

I checked your previous comments. Did you paid 89000 XPF per night for 2 days of the 4-day trip between 11/15 and 11/19, and then got the whole 4-day upgraded finally without extra pay when you arrived? Thanks.
My stay starts from 12/6 but I haven't reached out to them to quote the upgrade rates. No sure how many days advance is a good time to send email. My trip is a 5-day one. Could you advise if I should only ask for paying only some days updates and may get a chance to get all? Thanks.

Sure thing. Because I was only there for 5 days, 4 nights, I wanted a guarantee I would get at least a few nights in an OWB. I paid the two nights and was good with two nights but hoped that I would get an upgrade of any kind. If it's your first time and you want to guarantee that you will experience a few nights in an OWB, then I would pay. I'm assuming you also have Diamond status. If you do, there is a really good chance that you will get an upgrade for all nights. I paid for the regular Pool overwater villa but got the sunset view pool villa one. It wasn't that crowded so I would like to think you have a really good chance of getting all your nights in the same room if you pay for a night or two.
