The Conrad Centennial is one of my favorite hotels in Singapore due to its proximity to the waterfront and a great location next to a shopping mall requiring only a couple of minutes outside in the heat to reach an air conditioned sanctuary.
In 2002 I was at the Conrad Singapore the night of an incredible show on the Esplanade and Marina Bay at the mouth of the Singapore River. I walked over and found a spot on the Esplanade Bridge and spent the evening partying with a hundred thousand Singaporeans. The company that staged the Sydney Olympics fireworks show put on an amazing display of fireworks as dragonboats paraded around the bay and aerobatic performers descended lighted skyscrapers. WOW.
Hotel rates I checked in Europe and Australia ran from $250 to $400USD for the lowest priced rooms.
HHonors seems committed to a policy of not offering lucrative promotions. In all fairness to the HHonors program, the standard earning rate for Hilton stays with Points & Points or Points & Miles, along with a policy of award stays being eligible for elite status credit makes the Hilton HHonors program a good value without many additional bonuses.
Hilton HHonors had their 1,000 points per night promotion for most of this year and it was extended for many Hilton properties through June 30, 2009. Link to 1,000 points per night promotion.
When it comes to earning free nights there are advantages to IC Hotels Group, Hyatt, and Starwood with all the opportunities for bonus points and free night offers based on hotel stays.
Some of us remember the old days of Hilton HHonors fondly for multiple points earning opportunities like 2,000 points every quarter for changing account preferences like the email address on file. That was a simple 16,000 points per year from home for my wife and me.
And then there were the charitable years with the lucrative points earning opportunities through City of Hope’s “Walk for Hope” breast cancer research walks and runs. Earning 50,000+ points per year was possible for registration as a virtual walker in cities around the country with donations of $25 for 5,000 points. HHonors facilitated contributions to cancer research and helped the hotel loyalty account balance.
Thanks to Hilton HHonors we have memories of Oakland from the 2004 Walk for Hope that go beyond rock shows at night and our car being vandalized on trips there in the 80s.
10,000 points for a 3-night stay at a Conrad Hotel is an offer to consider when comparing rates for hotels in the nearly 20 cities around the world with Conrad Hotels.
