Time for a change of topic, I think. Let’s forget Avios points for a minute.
Hilton is about to wind up its Winter Sale, offering discounts of up to 33% off the Best Available Rate for hotels in Europe, the Middle East and Africa.
There is a special home page for this promotion which you can find here.
You can book for the whole of 2015 so you may have an opportunity to lock in a rate for an event you know you will need to attend later in the year.
These rates are valid:
Until 28 December 2015, weekends only
Rates are non-refundable
Discount is up to 33% off Best Available Rate except at Hampton properties where it is 15%
I ran a quick example which looked pretty attractive. For a weekend in Prague in late February – 20th to 22nd – the sale rate at the Old Town property is 2,479k compared to 2,900k per night for the usual Advanced Purchase rate.
Based on this non-scientific sample, you may well be able to find some decent deals. The booking page is here.
Remember that a pre-paid UK Hilton booking of over £250 would also qualify for £50 of cashback from American Express via their current promotion.
