Osaka is again available for booking online, the King Exec is now 41 100 JPY (350 USD) peak; from 22-30 may, a period that seems booked a day or the other by at least several FTers, the same room type is full for non smoking rooms but at least 8 rooms are available (if they don't overbook) for 33 500 JPY each.

Very likely the rep will tell you that you get no Hhonors points for your stay. Acknowledge that, and tell him/her that you still would like your number added in order to be able to keep track of your reservation on the Hilton site. The rep can send you an email showing the reservation with your Hhonors number added.

The only benefit to have HHonor number attached to is you can see it on HHonor site under my account so you would be able to see should Hilton cancel the reservation (it will disappear).
All 4 reps I talked to at 1-800-Hiltons refused to add HHonor for me claiming they cannot touch Expedia reservation.

They should warn you that you won't get points. But that's okay.
I did this with 4 reservations earlier. I would keep trying if I were you.
good luck!

Can't we earn stay credits however? I mean in general, on expedia special prices, do they give stay credits? Of course we can expect for this rate to be treated a different way.

OK - so have I
But I was quoting official policy - which changed sometime around January,I believe; mostly to say that Hilton was not treating these differently because of the rate.
