The Osaka Hilton I booked too late on but still got $200 worth of discounts from Travelocity (not too bad) considering that rate was displayed as right on most pages during the booking process.
It's just unpredictable...

for myself, to get the best out of this, i have cancelled all not really needet bookings and have only left 2 bookings now, as i think having more than 2 reservations will result in getting all not honored.
others who have made 10+ reservations and i am sure that there are some, should think over if they really need all of these reservations. sure the price was there, but having too many reservations might let hilton just say, guys sorry but we wont honor it. if the numbers of reservations is limited, the chance for us all is even better that we are offered a decent deal.
dp
I would concur with this ..I personally had made 3 reservations and although I am actually going to be in Bkk during those times(no I don't live there
) I decided that in the interests of fair play for what is obviously a mistake rate I would reduce my official "holding" to two.We will just have to wait and see what happens but there are no prizes for guessing where I will stay on my 3rd visit to Bkk should the Conrad honour these confirmed reservations.

There are two recent super hotel deals involving Priceline and Hilton. This thread and the La Quinta Resort PSP. It might make an interesting story.

hi,
this is for a booking made directly through conrad homepage.
hope it is a good sign.
