When will they release award availability May 2022? Been refreshing everyday. Also I been reading about that you have to book Conrad BB one night at a time right? I was hoping to get the 5th night free.
Currently got Hilton Moorea booked for 10 nights in case if I can't get award availability for Conrad BB. How does Moorea compare to BB?

Also looking to plan a stay in may/JuneJuly 2022. However there is nonexistent award space for all of 2022. I primarily use Marriott but I want to burn a ton of Hilton points. They are pretty much useless. Unless you want to stay at a home N suites by hilton aka motel 6, Hilton points are useless.
I've been able to book top tier Marriott properties (Al Maha, ST Regis Maldives, St Regis Mauritius, St Regis Bora Bora, Gritti Palace, etc), with absolute ease. My experience with Hilton has been the exact opposite. The dynamic pricing model they implemented is insane! 1 MM points for an award stay in a regular room???

Looking to do the same. One thing i will say is that hilton points are extremely easy to accumulate. I'll easily have well over a million for a stay next year. It appears they are slowing opening space into next year. I'm going to keep checking. Will most likely bool with cash to reserve my OWB then change out to points later.

I’ve seen them do it a few times on Friday afternoon. It was probably 5pm mountain when I checked one last time. I’ve also seen Saturday blocks get released Good luck!

When I booked my March 2022 week, I noticed that the final day on the calendar would show at the saver rate at around 9am ET but wouldn't be bookable until sometime between 1030 and 1pm ET. It really varied. I also noticed that sometimes nothing would get released over the weekend and then several days would be available on Monday (this was not always the case). I would not be at all shocked to learn that someone manually releases inventory, and they do it whenever they get around to it.
