What would be the issue? Bill it to the room and pay for the charges with a GC
Just wanted to make sure that gc's can be redeemed outside of the USA.

A cert has to be used for the account holder, so even if they open up space to apply the free night, they wouldn't be able to issue it for someone else.

Not my experience - my in laws have booked a weekend certificate for me in the past (with me as the second guest), and told Hilton it was for me. No issues.

Would it be a problem if I book one night with cash (Expedia coupons) and another 2 nights with cert's from someone else's account?

shouldnt be if you do things correctly like adding your name as a second guest to his certs. and about what you said earlier calling up the waj directly to apply the cert after you book with cash, I tried that and it didnt work  the reservation manager didnt know how to play around with the reservation.

Hopefully they can make it a 5 star experience. Alas that would probably require them to hire non-Israelis/non-Arabs.
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

Lots of small things, it's just not 5 star service, though there probably never will be 5 star service in Israel.
