Not sure. I think I need to call Hilton and book a room and say that I will be using a member for a stay voucher. In the past I had to provide the activation number which as far as I am aware is not on the card you gave me.

JohnK,

You have a PM.

Can we pay the NZ$ corporate rate?

Oops. I forgot to answer this one.

Yes, if we have NZ addresses.

But presumably the "$99 stay" would be for Hiltons in NZ only

I thought it would be valid anywhere in Australia, New Zealand and Fiji.

Would it be possible to find the most expensive Hilton and use the $99 stay there? Or is it difficult to book rooms on this rate?

You might be right, but I guess it is academic only unless you have a NZ address...

I had Hilton Sydney in mind...

Sometimes there is no availability and sometimes there is. Like anything else really. If they only have top of the line rooms available they probabily won't give them for $99. People have used them in Auckland & Sydney which are about the most expensive.

My AUD99 stay was actualy NZD113 for the AKL hilton.

I am certainly interested, especially if the rollover will give me ongoing membership to subsequent May(s).

I'll contact my partner.

Hey guys,

Just had a associate renew his membership and he has informed me that the $99 card is not valid in Fiji. Only in Australia and New Zealand.

Also, that is correct, i have stayed at both the Hilton Auckland and Hilton Sydney and both are the more expensive of the Hilton Premium Club associated hotels. That is correct that the $99 card can be booked at any Hiton Australia and New Zealand depending on availabilty. But that is understandable. I prefer Hilton Sydney though .

The Fiji hilton resort is also pricey, but the $99 card cannot be used there. I've had i little holiday there as well and i must say very impressed with the quality of the service and quality of the rooms.

Has any one else had the pleasure of stay at the Fiji Beach Resort & Spa - Managed by Hilton?

This is correct. The $99 card applies to Australia and New Zealand.

(Interestingly, and not that it matters to me, but from what I can make of the Terms and Conditions, the dining benefits apply in French Polynesia as well.)

Well I stayed at the Fiji resort at Easter.The rooms are great.The service was underwhelming.no status recognition.A building site where work had slowed to a crawl.Rates that are over the top.I would prefer to stay at the Denarau villas and have dinner at the Port's O Call in the desperately in need of a refurb Sheraton resort.It is about a third the price.

 

[serfty]

I stayed at the AKL Hilton earlier this month at the $99 rate.

Note this is AUD99 and at the time of booking I was advised it would be NZD113. (Although for NZ residents it is still NZD99).

Interesting, do to exchange rate changes, this NZD$113 eventually made it to my CC as AUD97.55.

 

[MC_Traveller]

Hi there guys,

Haven't stayed at the Sheraton as of yet. I can't really make a comment on that, But have to say Fiji is just a great lace to forget about the busy corporate lifestyle.

I have just made my fisrt online booking through Hilton Premium Club - HOME. This website i must say has proven to be a great investment. It makes my life real easy i tell you.

I will be staying at the Hilton in Sydney in a couple of weeks. Has anyone else made a booking via the website? Make sure to enter the Bangkok competition. I hope i win, i'm getting much of a break over Christmas . But thats life.

I'm still looking for people who are interested in joining a corporate (group) membership of The Hilton Premium Club.

As mentioned previously the price is $1000 for four people for 2 years and the bit I didn't know before it's $150 for each additional member (1 or 2 years). ie with eight people it's $1000 (for 4) plus $150 X 4 equals $1600 or $200 per person.

I currently have Mal, kpc, JohnK and myself as interested parties and serfty +1 as maybe's. I possibly have one other external person interested.

Anyone else :?:

Hi Bill, are you saying that it's $150 for each additional member after the first 4 members for TWO years membership? If that's correct, it will only be $200 each for TWO years membership if we can sign up 8 members That's a graet deal if we can find at least one more person to sign up!

kpc,

Correct. It's an extra $150 whether they join for one OR two years. (a no brainer me thinks)

 

[oz_mark]

straitman,

I am interested, but I am in the middle of a two year membership (still have a over a year to go)

 

[JohnK]

I currently have Mal, kpc, JohnK and myself as interested parties and serfty +1 as maybe's. I possibly have one other external person interested.

I am not in a hurry but if anyone is keen to get membership ASAP then we can get the ball rolling with 7 interested cost will be ~$207 each. Even if only 6 interested cost is still OK at ~$217 each.

I don't want to sound stingy in any way, because I am not, but assuming we kick this off then we will be foundation members and pay whatever our share of membership cost happens to be upfront. Is there is a possibility that someone is going to piggyback onto our corporate membership a few months down the track and only pay $150 for 2 year membership while we have paid over $200 for the same 2 year membership?

JohnK,

The prices I'm quoting are available until 31 Dec 07 and so I was looking at getting this done sometime just before then. The way it was put to me was that it's a group at a time so I believe the answer to your last question is no and I think that appropriate.
Currently the possibilities that I have are for 8 people though I'm waiting for several to confirm so that would be $200 per person.

A little is happening each day with this.

 

[oz_mark]

Hmm, byt the sound of that there would be little point me joining, and I will need to get a group together around the time mine expires.
