    Q: points earn on bookings with paid and rewards nights

    Question regarding points earn when a stay contains both a paid and reward night. Do you get points for the paid part? Im reading the terms and conditions and it says that if any night is consumed using points, the entire stay is inelligible. Is this the case?

    32,000 points off Economy Class QF awards to London

    I got it and I'm NB, with a enough points to do the trip, so I think that's probably the "target". I received a 2xQP passes offer for transferring 50K points 2 months ago, so I gather they are dangling some more bait here.... would've been good to get a general discount off all classic awards...

    Getting to the bottom of the "space available basis" definition for HH Dia and Gold

    OK, so I had some time on my hands to shoot off an email to HH support to get to the bottom of the definition of "space available basis" upgrades, after not getting one at Sydney Hilton, despite the fact all suite types were available for sale at the time I checked in. All I was offered was a...

    Status Points on SQ with VA flight number

    Your only other thing to consider is whether you need the va sectors to count towards your plat qual. On the sq flight number it won't count, yet it will if it's VA.

    Velocity Family Pooling on a VX First flight

    Confirm this is what happens. I did sfo-mco in first. Nice, but no other first US experience to compare with. Nice adjustable seat, but the seat itself was quite dirty. Food ok, but not like va or qf. Set your expectations low and you'll be happy :)

    VA/NZ service on TT

    I did this exact same thing recently and got the same experience. Super treatment on nz and totally underwhelmedby va. The cabin in PE for VA was empty bar what I could figure out was a VA staffer doing some sort of audit. He spent half the time in the coughpit and half the time in the cabin...

    HH diamond and gold "Space availabile upgrade" definition?

    Is there a standard definition of a "space available upgrade" or is it up to each hotel to interpret it? I have to assume based on my recent stay at Hilton Sydney as a Diamond that just because a better room is available for sale (on the internet, freely available) and even getting told they...

    Q: HH reward redemption "specials"

    Just browsing some potential stays for next year at Hiltons and using the "HH points" options, for the first time I saw a HH point "reward special" that was discounting the required points by maybe 15% or so.
