Forced to Use W57 Points for Flamingo Reservation

[TheCryptkeeper]

LoL this is exactly why I do it. I put a reminder n my calendar to cancel in time.

Currently I have a res for next spring to watch Hamilton. Not sure if friends will join so I have a res for studio premiere and 1 bedroom. One is a dummy that will be cancelled when I know if friends can join or not. I know that if I need the points for something else, I can cancel one of the res. With AI there are no res fees

Wow, I think I have Hamilton envy. I haven't seen it yet. We usually get the discount tickets through TDF.org for shows, but Hamilton isn't one of those shows and I don't think it ever will be.

We have a reservation at W57 in December (love NYC during the holidays). We're taking the train from Florida, a 25-hour trip. We took the bait this year and we're going to one of Hilton's notorious updates. They sold us a three night package at W57 (Friday, Saturday and Sunday) for something like $100 or $150 per night for attending. We added an additional three nights from our Hilton Club points to make it a six night stay.

They're supposed to show us the Residences during the update, at least that's what Helen who works at the front desk at W57 and sold us the package said. However, we've gone to these before, and whenever the salespeople see that we purchased resale, they abruptly end their sales pitch and escort us out. For some reason, I get the impression they don't like resale owners. I suspect we'll get similar treatment this go-around.

I'm not going to waste their time either. I know they have to make a living, but they're not making it off us. After the customary introductions and pleasantries, if the person doesn't already know, I'll tell them we purchased our current ownership resale and have no intention paying developer prices.
