Saturday 14 August 2010 to Sunday 15 August 2010
Property: Hilton Melbourne South Wharf
Room Booked: King Guestroom
Duration: 1 night
Rate: AUD 212.00 Advance Purchase (bed only) (rate without 20% discount from HPC MFAS card). Discount was paid out at check-out in cash.
Status: HH Silver
Received: Room on the Executive Floor. Not an upgrade, i.e. did not receive Executive Lounge access, but just got a room on the Executive Floor, which means bigger room, free water and turn down service. Probably nothing related to my status or me, they probably just ran out of regular rooms - my guess.
Had two other stays but didn't get anything else special out of them - as to be expected as a Silver - although I did have to twist some arm to get my MFAS cards to work on Advance Purchase rates (i.e. after one books the room and then uses the MFAS card). But that did mean I completed my MVP fast track and I am now back up to HH Gold.
