Does anyone know about the cancellation policies for the Hilton Honors GLONP2 award? I have combed the information on the website, even the fine print, and cannot find much about this
We have a search in SFX for Paris and/or London at the end of October, 2006. So far nothing has turned up, and I want to make some back-up plans using our Hilton points. We will have 175,000 points by April, enough for the GLONP2 award. It looks like we will have to have a Category 6 hotel because only a few category 6 hotels in Europe will accommodate 3 people.
Another question I have is how long to give SFX to find something for us before throwing in the towel on that. What happens if SFX finds us a timeshare resort in one of those cities after I have already locked in reservations under the Hilton Honors award? I don't know whether I should keep the award reservation, or try to cancel. I am not sure about the strategy for this trip, but it's making me nervous being only 7-8 months away and having nothing locked in. We've spent so much on timeshares, I sure hope we can get one. If we have to rent a hotel room in combination with Hilton points, we will. Another possibility is to pull the Marriott near Disneyland Paris within the 60 day window with our Marriott studio; I have seen it come up. The downside is that is some distance from Paris and a timeshare closer in would be preferable.
Any thoughts or comments would be appreciated. I will probably call Hilton about the cancellation policy also, but always appreciate information from Tuggers!
