Hilton

Hilton apparently only pays for"best rate guarantee" bookings. The problem is this does not seem to exist! Does this mean that you automatically can't get credit if you do the Hilton Honors rate, flexible rate, etc.? I'm not talking about rates you have to use a code or check a box for but rather rates that are presented to you as options. "Best rate guarantee" is not one of the options BTW.

I've had four Hilton stays during the past month, and, alas, it appears I won't get credit for any of them. We like Hampton Inns for road trips and Embassy Suites when we're splurging. Is there any way to get credit?

We do get some Hilton credits, but we probably have more that get turned down than what we get approved. My best advice is to just keep using our links and book the best deal that you can book. If it's one that they give us the commission on, we give it to you. If they don't give us the commission, at least you still got the best deal. We can always look up to make sure that their system associated the credit with your account. We just can't guarantee that they will give us the credit if they mark it as one of the "non-commissionable" deals.

I got screwed myself a few months ago because booked a Hilton hotel in London for our vacation with the kids. It was big enough that I REALLY wanted the cash back on it but because it was a special deal, they gave me nothing. :(

Thanks, Tricia. We've been on a cross country trip, and I was hoping to get a lot of credits. So far, nothing pending. I'm waiting on three more Hiltons, a Best Western, two Choice Hotels and a Priceline. The Hiltons are probably doubtful, but I've had good luck with the others in the past.

I have a Hilton credit pending! Three more to go.
