Topic Wiki

Certificates may be redeemed at any Hilton category, including the most prestigious properties such as The Waldorf Jerusalem and The Waldorf Maldives, provided that "Standard Room Reward" availability is present. It should be noted that securing standard room availability at high-category properties, particularly during peak periods, may be quite challenging or even impossible.

To obtain a certificate, the certificate holder typically initiates the process by calling to make a reservation under their name. Subsequently, the certificate buyer is added as a second check-in guest. However, it is important to note that this approach is generally not favored by hotels. As such, it is advisable to approach the process with tact to ensure a smooth experience.

Looking for 3 nights Waldorf Astoria Jerusalem mon ,tues ,Wednesday October 16,17,18 willing to pay 730 . Seller must allow me to cancel for a full refund  up until October 4th . However pay 100 dollar cancellation fee. ( hotel cancellation policy  full refund up until 48 hours before stay ) this is only for those whose certificates expire  after October time as I might choose the cancel option after I pay and request a refund minus the 100 dollar cancellation fee . Also, there is a way to book weekend certs for weekday. Did a few transactions on this forum already
this sounds way too complicated. Generally if you need to cancel your can resell the nights yourself. No one who is selling now wants to wait until October to find out if they actually Sold the nights.

Are you crazy? Hilton certs aren't exactly hard to sell right now, why do you think anyone would be willing to do this for you unless you're paying a nice premium.

I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not but I'm no moderator. Also, $50 is barely a premium for 3 nights (going rate is around $250 a night.)

My apologies, I wasn't aware of that.

So, we can buy free night certificates but not points to be used towards a free night?

Iinm, the difference is that nights just have a person added to the reservation. Points involve booking specifically for that person. I think also that the selling points (and miles) ban was geared more toward airlines. Hotels in general are much more lax about booking for friends. For example Hyatt has a guest of honor program.

In this case, Hilton now allows you to transfer points to any other HHonors member free of charge.

I assumed the ban on forum points/miles sales was intended for airlines as they strongly discourage the practice.
