Hilton has launched a 5-day flash sale offering 20% off at properties across the West Coast, in Hawaii and in other select locations in Arizona and Mexico. The deal expires on Friday 15 March so, with availability limited, the sooner you check for dates that work for you the more likely you are to find a good deal.

Thoughts

There are a few important things to note here:

Not all properties are participating – a very quick search threw up the fact that the Waldorf Astoria Beverly Hills and the Hilton Los Angeles Airport don’t appear to be taking part… and I’m pretty sure they won’t be the only exclusions.

The 20% discount isn’t necessarily a 20% discount on the cheapest rate Hilton is offering at any given property. Here’s an example of the rates available at the Hilton Waikiki Beach on a random night in June:

The promotional rate of $172 is the cheapest rate available but is only $7 cheaper than the Honors Advance Purchase rate…which is a paltry discount of just 4%.

If your plans are likely to change this promotion isn’t for you – the bookings are for non-refundable reservations (although you may be able to change them for a fee) and your credit card will be charged the full amount when you book.

Don’t forget that American Express may still have some very good offers that will stack with this promotion (the specific offer for Hawaii should also still be live) and which may save you quite a bit of cash.

Lastly, make sure you’re signed up for Hilton’s ‘Points Unlimited‘ promotion which runs through 5 May 2019 and will stack with at least some bookings made through this promotion.

If anyone finds a great deal in this promotion please let me know in the comments and I’ll add it to the post above.
