Hello, just joined this forum a few days ago. My wife and I are platinum members with HICV and get 5 free nights each year, but can't book the rooms more than 60 days out. We were recently told by a salesman at HICV that there is a way to get around this. He told us that if we book during the Open Access period and use Point Shield, we can call a counselor 60 days or less before our reservation, and have the counselor cancel the reservation and immediately re-book it using our free nights. This would cost us the $51 for Point Shield, but we would get the reservation fee and points refunded. I am a bit skeptical about this workaround or loophole to the 60 day rule for booking the free nights and am wondering if this is true.
Thanks!
Thanks!
