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.

Folks should always be extremely cautious of new members.  Reputation is everything on an anonymous trading website like this.

Agreed. And that’s why I posted it as a PSA.

Anyone who has transacted with him or is thinking of transacting with him, can PM me for more specifics. In summary, guest booked a stay for me at WAJ, a week before arrival,  and after  my zelle payment, he canceled the reservation with no communication  and stopped communicating. Was only one night, but I still want to warn others.
The only way I’d risk dealing with a new member is if it’s after the cancellation deadline, in which case I’d call the hotel to make sure they see the reservation to make sure it’s not photoshopped and then send the payment.
Somewhat related, had 2 great transactions for WAJ this week with @CountValentine & @manigault!

Check for the account history on the seller's posts, see if that account has bought or sold in the past, see what other posts that account was posting in the past on other threads, that is what I do before doing a transaction with another member, if that account was just created and has no history I stay away

If a beginner sells for under average, it can be worth the buyers risk till they build a reputation.
While I agree with @ual902, everyone has their first sale at some point and many DDFrs aren’t involved in other threads.
I can identify certain sellers who make their one annual post selling their hotel certificate.

If everyone did this there would never be any sales. Everyone starts with zero transactions.

You can start with the unverified party assuming all the risk. Not always possible but sometimes it would be an option.

Has to be earned like anything else.  Offer deals where buyer's are willing to take the risk on just in order to build references and trade history.  Start with smaller dollar value deals.  Speaking for myself though I'm not willing to buy from somebody for hundreds of dollars that just registered yesterday and hope for the best, I'm only buying from established reputable members with a trade history.  That's up to the newcomers to figure out how to get there.

There’s currently no standard rewards available. They sometimes open up a day or 2 before the stay.
