I also just had the $95 AF post and was still thinking of cancelling. How do you get $240 in credit?

Nice that it renewed at $95. It was supposed to go up July 1. You should be able to get 5 quarters worth of the $60/quarter credit on any Hilton for 1 AF. GC works too.

I kept both mine and DH's because they renewed at $95. Most quarters, I'll be buying a $50 GC and the rest of the credit will cover the $1.95 shipping fee.

I can't believe I did this, but somehow I booked a non-refundable Hilton Hotel Night. I could have sworn it said cancel within 3 days of arrival. Has anyone had any luck getting their Hilton points back on a non-refundable reservation?

Don't think I've seen a non-refundable Hilton points reservation before. Is this an SLH?

Nope, just a Hilton. Taylor Swift is in town that weekend. I tried to see if I could cancel via chat, but they couldn't do anything. I'm going to call later this evening.

Looks like people have had luck calling the hotel. Link Good luck!

I have Los Altos in Costa Rica booked for April ‘25. DH was doing a street view of surrounding area outside the hotel and thought it looked sketchy. For those who have first-hand experience, what’s the area around the hotel like? Did you go to restaurants in the neighborhood?

It’s a small town in Costa Rica. Lots of tourists and resorts, hotels and Air B&B. Lots of places to eat at. No issues. There’s a small grocery around the corner we picked up food at for lunches and snacks.

I'm going to mvmcp and jollywood but it's a lot easier to "justify" when I'm solo but omg the price of mvmcp. I do a combo of holiday stuff and short ride lines. This will be my first Jollywood.

Instant CIP approval with P2 support. Just SM for expedited card. Can I SM for the match right away also, or should I wait a day?

IKR?! We Went 2 years ago and are going again this year and the price is so much higher now. I think there's a lot of demand for that particular event. Also going to Jollywood, was not as bad but still high imo. But it's my mom's 60th birthday so...

Sighhh- has anyone ever been successful getting a points refund after the 'cancel by' date has passed on a hotel? Or is it up to each property? I tried, but rep said property would only do it at 50% of points....

The strategy I've read is to ask them to change the reservation to a date outside the cancellation window, and then cancel that later. Never tried it myself.

Ohhh wow good idea- call in to try?

This has worked for me.

Applied for a CIP for P2 through my own support link. Got a "more info needed" about the legal name of the business--guessing I didn't put his full name? Do I just apply for EIN? Any way to fix whatever I messed up about the name. He's willing to put a minimal amount of effort into it but mostly on me. Thanks for any advice. I have several large purchases to make and would really like a new SUB.

Think it makes sense to try calling again today?

Yeah, why not?

Need to buy my travel insurance for my international trip next year. I know I want medical but not sure how to factor in points bookings. My flights were made on points + taxes/fees. Do I put the “cost” as any cancellation fee/points restatement and the taxes/fees? I haven’t booked any tours yet. I assume I can put down a cost now and adjust once I have final costs. I used to have an annual travel insurance plan through work but since I’ll be retired, I’m on my own next year. Thanks for any help.

I guess I’m using “just posted” loosely - it posted in June, but was due to be paid this week. Since Los Altos is becoming or is now a Hilton property and we’re going in April, might find some use for the gift cards there?
Do you just buy gift cards online and then automatically get a credit on your statement?
