I would do it on-line but the promo states “On Checkout Only

Do I have to PAy at check out and if I do the charge will be in local currecny and not GBP as stated in the T&C’s

Hiltons that are not in the US, Mexico or Caribbean charge prepaid rates using the same system as they would charge you in person at the front desk.

By GBP Amex means the currency that you are billed in – otherwise the offer could never work in hotels outside the UK, which can only ever charge Amexes in their local currency (unlike Visa and MC).

I really don’t understand why others are having trouble with this offer, it has been trouble-free for me since inception. Maybe I’m just lucky. I have recently bought prepaid rates at some of the hotels mentioned as taking long times to credit in this thread, but they all credited for me in 3 days max.
