2 for 1, Pay for one night, unwind for two.
Share this fantastic offer with your family and friends NOW!


For rates twice as nice, log on to: hilton.com/2for1asiapacific

I hope it includes suites as my corp rate only gets me a standard room.. might be a great time to get a "Free" upgrade...

 

[odysseus]

Looks like a great deal and it's good that it includes breakfast too!

It does say the rates are for a "standard room" though so it appears to not include suites. Pricing is based on the best available rates so good, reliable pricing.

 

[serfty]

Pricing is pre-paid 7 days per week with late check-out on Sat/Sun 'till 6pm.

Can't book until June 1st but if it's anything like the 50% January promotion, suites, executive rooms etc can be booked.

All Hilton hotels in OZ (not Conrads) are participating.

Tried a booking early today (440am) but the hilton site keeps saying the requested rate is not available....

I wonder if it is on USA time?

Cheers

But Wotif.com is showing a Sydney Hilton rate of $165 inc breakfast....(As as 2 for 1 rate) I wonder if stay credit is applied of Wotif bookings ?

I'm also getting the "Please note that the 2 for 1 Offer rate you requested was not available. Available rates are displayed below." message this morning when trying to book in mid-June.

Called the 1300 44 5866 number provided by Hilton and they were able to confirm that there was availability on those nights, but couldn't see inventory for the 2 for 1 sale.

Tried 5 different hotels, each hotel 3 random dates. Nothing. Same message.

And I thought Singapore just happened to be booked out. Good news in a way I guess, though hopefully we'll actually be able to book something soon.

 

[kelix]

Apparently they arent loaded up yet according to posts on Ozbargain.

Rates look to be up.

I just booked an Exec room (for 2) in Brisbane Hilton for 6 nights - $165/night. I presume/hope Premium Club discount will apply, which means $132/night.

The single rate was $155/night on the nights I chose, although another set of dates I tried started at $192!

I needed 4 nights to get my Gold status back (also assuming they'll be eligible), and doubt they would have upgraded me to an Exec room as a Silver. Breakfast and nightly drinks mean it's a steal - especially considering the only other hotels in Brisbane around that $$$ are the likes of IBIS.

(and yep, it's bridging accommodation after I pack up my place here and before heading overseas)

Trying South Wharf in Melbourne, various dates. All I get is:

Please note that the 2 for 1 Offer rate you requested was not available. Available rates are displayed below.

UPDATE: Got into Hilton on the Park....

Trying South Wharf in Melbourne, various dates. All I get is:

I tried every date for promotion and got the same response at Hilton South Wharf.

I found plenty in Cairns and Brisbane.

 

[Coathanger]

Conrad Tokyo doe not appear to have any inventory online, all my searches are throwing up the aforementioned error message.

Called Hilton Reservations up again this evening and they could see the inventory. However, this priced in at ￥57,000 total for the two nights...quite a steep increase on the circa ￥40,000 flexible rates!

Dissapointing

 

[Coathanger]

The rates appear to be loaded at hotels.com since they had 2-for-1 availability for both the Conrad and Hilton Tokyo on the dates in mid-June that I was after.

Might be worth checking there for Hilton South Wharf...

 

[ric_melb]

I haven't checked the Hilton site yet but it seems quite stupid to me that the 2 for 1 offer is not coming up on their site, yet comes up on 3rd party sites.

On Wotif, Hilton South Wharf is coming up at $148 a night, under the 2 for 1 offer. Great value including breakfast!

I receive that email myself. I have noted those T&Cs appearing more and more with HPC, but have yet to NOT get stay credit/points when staying on a 20% HPC rate.

Note this conflicts with the HHonors T&C's where by booking via Hilton Family Websites (e.g. HHonors.com) the stay is eligible.

Hilton HHonors - HHonors Terms & Conditions

A "stay" is defined as the total number of consecutive nights spent at the same hotel, whether or not a guest checks out and checks back in again. The term “stay” under these Terms and Conditions does not include any stays of the following nature: wholesale/tour operator packages; contracted airline crew rates; travel industry rates (including but not limited to travel agent discount rates); complimentary or barter rooms; Reward Stays; NET Group rates; Series Group or IT Group rates; contracted Entertainment or Encore rates; third party websites bookings (irrespective of rate paid); and "opaque" channel bookings where the brand is unknown at the time of purchase. HHonors points may not be earned for ineligible stays or during ineligible stays, including without limitation, folio charges incurred during ineligible stays.

Premium Club discount applies, however Hhonors or FF points are not given:

THe original promotion T&C's don't mention points not being awarded, but curiously note: "This offer cannot be combined with other offers, discounts or packages.".

I would still appeal it to HHonors if points weren't granted though.

They started doing this more diligently after Danger had problems getting a credit for a stay at Sydney. See here: http://www.frequentflyer.com.au/community/215461-293-post.htmlhttp://www.frequentflyer.com.au/com...hiltonpremiumclub-com-11484-8.html#post215461
