I've got a 6 night, 2 room, booking at Hilton New York Fashion District coming up in March, where both rooms have been booked under a "triple points" rate. I'm hoping some of the Hilton regulars here might have experience with these triple point rates (or even double point rates, as I assume they work the same way) and could answer a few questions for me? I've Google'd to try and find answers, but practical information on these rates seems to be very sketchy (especially recent practical information).
1) Any reason to think I won't be able to earn triple points for both rooms? I assume I will given it sounds like the technical process for multi-room-earning is for the hotel to transfer all charges for the second room to the first room before the bill is paid, and hence both room's charges should count towards base points / double-dip bonus / Diamond bonus / triple-points-rate bonus. Thought it couldn't hurt to check though.
As an aside, if I'm right about the above, it makes me wonder whether you actually need to book both rooms under the triple points rate to get triple points... or whether just booking the first room under this rate, and the second room under a cheaper rate, would work? Given the charges from room two are transferred to room one, etc.
2) Do these triple points count as base points or bonus points? What little info I can find suggests the latter (and it's a fairly logical assumption), but again, looking for confirmation.
3) Which "types" of points are tripled with these rates? ie. is it triple base points (only), triple total points (after any other bonuses are applied), or something else?
e.g., say total charges for the stay worked out to be $4,000 USD, which would translate to 40,000 base points + 20,000 bonus points (points+points double dip) + 20,000 bonus points (Diamond) = 80,000 total points. Are only the 40,000 base points tripled, for an extra 80,000 points? Or the total points, for an extra 160,000 points? Or some other combo of base+bonuses?
Thanks... appreciate any responses / advice.
