I swear that I read a post a year or two ago about Hilton offering a short window to save a little bit on saving points. However, when I've tried to search and find it again, I've been unsuccessful. Was I imagining that? Is there sometimes a Time towards the end of the year that they offer a discount to save points? Thanks in advance!

You are correct. It has historically been around this time of year but I have not seen any discounts so far for this year.

I had asked about that on the phone with the Club a few weeks ago while changing a reservation. Apparently this year, they are not offering a discount to save points.

I submit that a rep only knows what he is told at the moment and at any time management can offer a discount and limit the offering time frame if they want to. I would not be in any hurry to save points as a limited time offering could appear at any time. Curt

This year they offered a discounted fee to prepay the save fee that will automatically save the points at the end of the year. It was $88 if you set up the autosave in Jan through Mar of this year. They have announced the same thing for next year.

There was a question about this in another thread, and I'm not sure I saw it answered: if one ends up not having points to save, is the fee refunded, or is it more of a "discount insurance policy" sort of thing? If refunded, I'd definitely do it next year, just in case. I can float them a loan for 9 months :)

Cheers.

The information on the "service" certainly doesn't mention anything about a refund, so I would say a "discount insurance policy"
