3 Nights available now on points, hopefully 2 more will become available next week, I'm after the cancellation date,
Will I be able to rebook all 5 nights together next week so I could get 5th night free?
or could I just add on later 2 nights and they could waive one night as 5th night free?

you will need to be able to book all 5 together, and cancelling will not gurantee that the room will go back to inventory

But if I find additional inventory next week for 5 nights together will I be charged cancellation fee for changing reservation?

You need to read the cancellation details, every reservation is different, but generally you should be able to get it waived

Don't know for sure, but I would assume a Lyft ride linked to your Hilton account would work.

We reserve the right to cancel or modify reservations where it appears that a customer has engaged in fraudulent or inappropriate activity or under other circumstances where it appears that the reservations contain or resulted from a mistake or error.

Automatic or discretionary?

Any experience recently with Diamond members getting upgraded?

Wish Marriott would do that. Have a bunch of short stays coming up. :)

I find Hilton to be very good with diamond upgrades though the option to purchase in advance has been around for a long time I don’t think it’s so new. I know for sure at least two years I’ve had option to commit to pay for upgrade if available at check-in

I feel like no one has ever stayed in this hotel.
