With the AMEX spend $400 get $120 back ending tomorrow, does anyone know if you can book two separate nights at the same property, both under $400 and receive the credit? It seems like this is possible, but was wondering if anyone has tried this previously?

• Spend AU$400 or more at a single Hilton property to receive one AU$120 credit, with no more than one credit per Hilton property, up to a maximum of ten properties.

Yes no problem. You can book as many stays as you want as long as it accumulates to $400 in one property.

Presumably booking a prepaid rate also qualifies?

Correct

It does but make sure your card is charged by the end of today!

Probably a stupid question, but how can you be sure of this? Make the booking over the phone?

Make a booking online then call the hotel and ask them to charge your card today. Even if they say ok we'll do it I recommend you ask to stay on the line until it’s confirmed. Yesterday I called to pre-pay for a booking, was told it will be done but it wasn’t so had to chase them again today, this time insisting to stay on the line until I get confirmation from AMEX the charge went through.

Damn, that was close to a failure - just remembered to register. About to check out tomorrow from SEATAC Hilton 4 night stay and then another night at Everett tomorrow night at Hampton Inn. Nice haul of (double) points coming from USD$1K spend

How were you able to earn so much for 4 nights stay. Incredible!

By spending an eligible US$250/night, being diamond and registering for the promo, but that's just a rough guess!

When there are double points promos on, is it worth paying for the 2x points package also? Would you get 4x the base + bonus points? Is it a better rate than buying points when they're on sale for 100% bonus?

I never have, so I guess for me it isn't. I haven't looked closely, but I always assumed it would be double base points only (though I may be wrong).

You'd get 4 x base rate. I opt for the 2x points package whenever the price is right. During my last stay in SYD in June (1 night) for example, an extra $14 for the 2x points package earned me an additional 6000 honors points which I value at ~ 1cpp.

I've never found the increased cost per night for the double point promo to be worth it, but then again each to their own.

 

[drross]

Only used it once. The difference was maybe $5 a night. Worked for me...Adelaide I think

I think if it's a small difference to pay like that I'll do it.

If it's a double points promo on top of a 2x point package then I'll have to do some math.

Otherwise it looks like I'd be better off buying full points on a 100% promo.
