Congrats - it seems you are only the second FTer ever to get a Hilton BRG claim approved

Watch out for this AMEX GC - for many it never arrived...

But it's a nice, snappy hotel search site - good find!

I actually tried making that booking, but Hilton sent back their email stating the brg claim is invalid: first, hilton's site doesn't offer a "standard" room as skyauction's does. Second, skyauction's cancellation policy is for the room to be prepaid with one night penalty if cancelled, which doesn't match hilton's. So, no brg!

Try this

Room Cancellation Policy
Hotel cancellations or changes made 1 day/s prior to check in time (Noon local hotel time), will be subject to 1 night/s fee
No-show is subjected to 1 night/s fee

On Hiltons website booked 2 Dbl Beds non-theater room. Non preipaid rate.

In email was very clear to point out this was not an auction but rather a publicly avaialble rate through their book it now feature.


I read the cancelation policy as you can cancel w/o penalty before noon 1 day prior to arrival.

Should have noted which ORD Hilton is was in thread title. Airport Hilton isn't too interesting to everyone.

I was looking through this site and it seems there is a nightly fee, typically something like this

Tax and service charges of $49.00 per room per night additional.
and then
Extra nightly surcharges apply: Fri $15, Sat $15

so while I might "win" an auction for $200, there is this as well
not a terrible deal at $50-$65 a night +($130) but its not a steal in most cases, unless I am reading this wrong

Wrong. Matt this is the case for skyauctions. I am using their bookitnow feature where you simply book hotels much like expedia. Check it out there are some deals out there.

Seems like you drew a bad agent. Its a search engine that allows for instant confirmation etc...yes the auction portion is voucher driven, but this isa book it now search engine such as orbitz.
