Chase works through Expedia which makes it a 3rd party booking.
3rd party bookings don't get benefits like status , or get points. So maybe that's why wanted you to change rooms bc u lost your status for those nights. Or they needed the rooms.

Best bet is when u get to hotel tell them right away u have  what's called back to back reservations
Thank you... ended up calling WA reservations and they put a note re: back-back-nights on my first night reservation... should be good to go...  Thank you!

I have an upcoming stay at the WAJ, booked through a combination of different ways - some (3rd party) hilton certs, hilton points and chase points, with three different confirmation numbers.  Does it make sense to reach out in advance to combine them into one or is it too much of a hassle (and I should just deal with it upon arrival)?

I’ve done back-to-back reservations without changing rooms but I do ask for (and have gotten every time) the two drink certificates for each stay. You’ll most likely have to ask but you should be able to get six drink certificates from these bookings. Hope you have a blast and enjoy (six) L’Chaims!  ;D

I think you have to spend 15K to get a free night. If you did that you should get it with in amonth of your statement

It is the Ascend card that you have to spend $15000 for the free night.

for your second question, yes you can book with money (no deposit needed) then sub in the points later, only thing is it might go up-points per night. i havent checked july 4th but would imagine it will be around 95k per.

as for which cards to sign up for to get the points:

hilton has a few cards to choose from.

the hilton honors card has n af and with referal links you can get up to 100k spend $1000 in 3 months.

theres the businiss card whic i think its 125-130k now with $95 annual fee which gives you gold status -free breakfest,upgrade
-if you spend $15000 you get free weekend night.

aspire hilton card - $450 af this has diamond status, free weekend after first 2 months,think 150k bonus,$250 arline credit, $250 resort credit (cant use here-i used in miami-paid 25k and $25 for a 1bdr suite )

Thanks,

What can you use there, the resort credit? And why?

the $250 credit can only be used if the hotel is on there list of approved hotels that participate in this offer. think someone posted link bfore. the $100 credit can be booked using a specific link or by calling and giving a code. its not a statement credit it will be deducted from bill at the end of your stay, its good for hotel charges like spa and food. it will not work on points purchases you need to book drectly through a specific link using those rates.

i have done was lets say you have points only for 2 nights but staying 3? you can make the two nights with points and a separate with money,once free night comes in you call tell them to apply cupon and then ask for them to merge the reservation.
