Few weeks ago United Airlines had a computer glitch witht thier website which caused it to sell hundreds of giveaway tickets to Europe.

Just a few moments ago, I was browsing/shopping for hotels in the travelocity.com website. I was extremly surprised to see that the Hilton Mexico is offering $0 per night along with some $130 per night rooms during the month of August. I immediately click "Book Now" to see if it works and it did! I have 4 pages of detaily and clearly written confirmation (Hilton's confirmation # + Travelocity's reservation #) confirming a rate of $0 for two with a King size bed standard room. I also have an e-mail confirmation which states the exact same thing. This is incredible. I am pretty sure it's another computer glitch, but hey, it's not my fault and it's perfectly legal. Just thought you guys might want to check that out yourselves. Go to www.travelocity.com and see for yourself. It may still be available.

Tried it, but kept getting $160/nt.

$190/night here. No other rates available. Tried numerous dates in August.

Of course, $0 per night means 0 hhonors base points! Will get credit for a stay or any other bonuses...

Nice catch, though!

At least hscottm can see it. I have opened a second window and I can still see the rate now. The problem may be:

1) You must be a registered member of travelocity

2) Search hotel, using the 'by airport' option (2nd option), type in MEX (airport code of Mexico)

3) Preference set at: "All Hilton brands"

4) Number of people: 2 Number of room: 1

5) Click "Search Now" at the bottom of search page.

6) There should be only one option b/c there is only one Hilton property in Mexico City and click "select" when you see the hotel. The price range given on the right hand side of the screen is inaccurate. Once you click "select" you should see 4 types of rooms: 2 choices are 2 doubles for $130 per night while 2 other choices are at $0 per night with one King size bed and another, bed size unspecified. The type of rate is: Corporate Rate except one of the Doubles at $130 is Best Available Rate.

Hope this helps.

It works!! You have to hit the 2nd select to get it!!! Also have to guarantee with a credit card. Definitely make a copy of this if you go for it.

THANK YOU,
This will allow me to achieve diamond status.
I have booked 12 stays in august at $0 per stay.

This is truly a sad state of affiars. First, thanks to the original poster for the heads up. After several tries, I was finally able to book my reservation. The question is what will I do for free stuff? Well, except for the $41 in taxes that did show up. Perhaps I should've booked more than 3 nights, but I really couldn't justify a reason for the trip in the first place. How's this, I'm planning a mileage run???

Perhaps I'll see some of you there.

This actually shows up as early as June, but it down in the 5th and 6th options then. I don't have any reason for wanting to go to Mexico City or I would take them up on this. Now if it was CANCUN, that would be a different story.

how far is the airport from the city and what is there to do there?

forgot to ask- how much tax came up per night?

I got it! $0 for one night in August.

Under the "Reservations" tab it lists my one reservation three times. The first lists my Hilton confirmation # with a "-01", the second lists the Hilton same confirmation # without the "01", and the third says "Confirmation Code - Not yet confirmed".

You have the option to delete any of the three reservations. I learned by doing so, the reservation gets cancelled.

So.....if you leave all three alone, your one reservation is kept. I called both Travelocity, and Hilton HHonors directly, and everything is booked and confirmed for $0!

Thx for catching this Guava

tax is 17% per night but %17 of 0 is 0!!!
it is 250 per night stay as well. N o points awarded becuase it is $0 but I 'll take the nights toward diamond

why did kiranarise have $41 in taxes then?

I meant to say 250 miles per night. I have no idea why he had taxes added I did not.
