HOT! Stay 2 Nights At Select Waldorf Astoria And Conrad Hotels And Get 1 Night Free, A $75 Gift Card, And A $25 Dining Credit; Waldorf Astoria Jerusalem For $165/Night!

Thank you DAN!!!!

If I book 2 rooms for same stay will I get a free night for each room?

@Slim:
Enjoy!

@Anonymous:
It seems like you would, but I would book it under the name of the person staying in the other room to be safe.

Is it refundable?

Dan

I saw this deal and got very excited as I plan on going to israel in Feb..can I book 2 nights for me with my reserve card and then 2 more nights with her reserve card? Do you think they would let me keep the same room or I would need to transfer to new room assuming we booked identical rooms?

Anybody know the Kashrut?

Maybe I am missing something but its not BOGO it’s buy 2 get one free so saying 3 nights for $30 is wrong. 2 nights cost $810… you get the third night free so its still $810 and then if you use your $300 credit its $510 minus $75 is $435 for 3 nights… no where near $30.

@Mendy:
Yes, read the exact cancel terms for your dates when making the reservation.

@Sol:
That should work.
You should be able to keep the same room if you let them know, but if they combine the folios then you might have issues.

Officially it’s Rabanut, but all the food they use is mehadrin. You can Whatsapp or call the Mashgiach of the hotel at +972 54-940-5494 and then ask your LOR.

@Jacob:
You are indeed missing something. If you book 2 nights you get one of those nights free, just as my screenshot shows.

how to I stack? I just booked for the second night free in march

@chaim:
The $75 offer requires a stay by February. March stays would only get the BOGO.

Can I use the same credit caRd for both rooms?

I noticed when booking they are adding the 17% tax per might..isn’t taxes only for Israeli citizen’s? Or would I need to count on paying the tax..also when do they charge you?

@Dan:

Yeah I get it now… I could have sworn your last paragraph said 3 nights for $30 but its late so my mistake.

Is it 1 offer per card or can I do more than 1 booking on same card?

How quick after applying for the card will you be able to use these benefits? IE how long till you get a CC number?

@Anonymous:
You should be able to. But maybe add someone as an additional user?

@Anonymous:
Tourists don’t pay hotel tax in Israel, you can ignore that.

@Anonymous:
You can make multiple bookings with the same card.

@Jacob:
A few days from approval.

@Taxes Question

Rates are subject to 17% VAT per Israeli law. Tourists as defined by Israeli law (holders of a diplomatic passport or foreign passport and a 3-month tourist staying permit [B/2/3/4]), who are registered guests at the hotel, are exempt of VAT payment for hotel accommodations and hotel-related services (as defined by Israeli law). Guests without a valid entry permit will be charged VAT as defined by Israeli law (VAT rate may change without notice, subject to Israeli law).

How do you get both offers to apply? Only seems like I’m getting the BOGO . . .

Thanks Dan!! I booked and extended weekend with 2 nights on my wifes card and 2 on mine.

I hope they don’t flag that as a violation!

@Avi:
The $75 gift card will be automatically sent to you within 6 weeks of your stay if you pay with a Visa Signature or Infinite card.

@Chaim:
Enjoy!

Which cards are considered signature and infinite?

@Moshe:
Just look under the Visa logo on your card and see if it says Signature or Infinite. If it says nothing under the Visa logo then it doesn’t qualify.

Sapphire Preferred is a Visa Signature and Sapphire Reserve is a Visa Infinite for example.

If I book it under one card, will it charge it automatically after check out? Or will they charge it after the stay?

Thank you Dan.
I searched everywhere online for a list of cards that qualify but the majority of the responses basically refer to the chase sapphire preferred and reserve cards as well as a ritz card. Is there a way to get a list of US based cards that are part of these two programs?

Dan, I tried to add on a couple of nights using my UR points from chase sapphire but the waldorf is not coming up. Do they participate?

I’m interested in the Conrad Singapore and Bangkok, both of which are on the list for both offers. But if I book through this, I won’t get the Diamond benefits, correct?

@Moshe:
Read what Dan: wrote.

@Dan: Thanks dan for this great post! I think you should put in the post this info which you answered to moshe “Just look under the Visa logo on your card and see if it says Signature or Infinite. If it says nothing under the Visa logo then it doesn’t qualify.
Sapphire Preferred is a Visa Signature and Sapphire Reserve is a Visa Infinite for example.”. So that way it’s understood to what you mean when you say reserve or infinite! Great work dan! Well explained otherwise!

Can I use my card to pay for someone else? i.e. a friend who will stay there but doesn’t have a visa signature card?

@Anonymous:
Your card is charged when you checkout.

@Moshe:
Some cards like Freedom might be Visa Signature or might be a plain Visa card. You just need to look under the logo on your card.

@Anonymous:
It should be.
Try calling the travel booking line if it isn’t.

@Dave:
Good question. I’d try calling Hilton to make sure your Diamond number is attached and bring your membership card.
My guess is that it will be honored, but it’s YMMV.

@myi:
Done.

@trocker:
Might get dicey at checkout unless you add him as an additional user. YMMV.

Can I use multiple signature cards for the bogo and $75? ie. Stay a week in 2 night increments with different cards?

Do u get charged the full amount and only get back once the second night once you stay …. Does the 75 happed automatically or do u need to do more then follow the link and use a visa signature card …. Thanks Dan u the best !!!

The question still remains… which cards are infinite and signature 😉
Merely telling people to check their wallets to see if it says infinite anywhere won’t be of much help to them for the future 🙂
It would be very be helpful to mention which cards are included as then people can make informed decisions by considering applying for a card that falls under this promotion.

Thank you for all your generous work Dan!

@chan:
If it’s the same stay it will get rolled into one folio and you’ll get the benefit just once.
If you alternate stays with a spouse it may work, though you’ll need to close out each folio and you may have to switch rooms.

@Q:
You get charged at checkout.
The $75 is automatic if you book via the Visa site.

@Moshe:
Like I said, Sapphire Preferred is a Visa Signature and Sapphire Reserve is a Visa Infinite card.

Other cards like Freedom and United are YMMV. Check your card to confirm.

Just want to emphasize you are refunded the second night. Whether it’s more or less expensive.

My chase ink card says signature business, that would count right? Or it is only limited to consumer cards?
Thanks

@Buruch:
Yup.

@Meir:
Should work.

Sorry if my previous comment came across rude. I appreciate your help Dan. Thanks.

Some reports are saying the offer only works for 3 nights and that they made a mistake in the writing. Any idea?

@shay peleg:
No chance. It clearly says it works with a 2 night stay.
Additionally if you try to book 1 night it says you need to search for 2 nights.
When you search for 2 nights it says the last night will be free at checkout.

Looks like chase UR does not list the leonardo plaza or the WALDORF anymore. I tried numerous days and no dice.

I did see it on amex but amex charges double the points for everything!! 55k a night.

I was thinking to through an award night in there and then add another 2 days after that. So between my wifes card and mine plus the award night, and then another 2 on my card, we could have seven days for under 900!

@Chaim:
I’ve seen it there in the past.
Did you try calling the number listed?

The BOGO page says that Visa Infinite and Signature are both eligible, but the $75 GC page only says Signature. To be safe, wouldn’t you recommend using just a Visa Signature card?

Just booked Waldorf Park City with new Reserve card, thanks Dan!

will call tomorrow … don’t want to wake up the wife 🙂

it may be based on the dates chosen and availability? who knows …

@Dave:
I emailed them and got this:
https://i.gyazo.com/e4cca3baaf08d8223914b56742da0f48.png
@Kyle:
Enjoy!

Dan– thanks for the clarification!
When I go to the checkout page where I enter my billing info, there’s an “Important Notice!” that says “Having trouble booking? Only VISA Signature cards are eligible, and you must be visiting your region’s website. If your card number is not working, please call for booking assistance.” Can I just enter my billing info on this page, or do I have to click the link for the region’s website (visaluxuryhotelcollection.com) and then find my hotel from there?

Thanks Dan, I just ordered 2 nights!
In the BOGO terms it says: “Offer cannot be combined with any other offers or packages unless otherwise specified”, so why do you think the $75 gift card will apply here?

They let you put in hot HHonors number unlike most 3rd party bookings so you’ll also earn HH points as if you paid full amount

Waldorf Astoria currently has a promo that gives $50 per NIGHT for each 2+ night stay:

http://waldorfastoria3.hilton.com/en/offers/100021021.htm?cid=OM,WA,BOWA,MULTIPR,Tile,Home,SingleLink

For those who already has Hilton Diamond status, sounds like this would be a better deal, although $75 VGC is more liquid.

Does anyone know how the free breakfast benefit works? Booked Grand Waielia and put down 4 guests in my room. Will the provided buffet benefit extend all 4 of us? Looks like an expensive buffet at $35 per person.

Thanks Dan
Using it for NY city early December- The Hotel closes in 2017 so may be last chance to stay there.

Is there any limit on how many $75 cards you can get? If I make multiple separate stays do I get as many vgc?

How do I get $165 a night at the waldrof Jerusalem?
It is coming out to 450-500$ a night?

@dan was wondering if there’s a limit to how many times you can do it if I have multiple accounts with infinite and signature can me and my wife just keep on switching off? I can make sure the hotel doesn’t combine the folio do you think it would work. And do you think the hotel would get upset and cancel it/? Do they have the power to do that?
Thanks always appreciate your content been a loyal follower for many years!!!!

How can I get this deal at the Waldorf Jerusalem? I’m getting total for 2 nights 930+tax – Any sample dates?

If booked back to back do I get the $25 twice?

Also, use ur Citi Hilton Reserve Signature for 10 points per dollar.

Question: when do they bill? At order or at the time of the stay?
I’m asking because i’m wondering whether I can use the 2017 CSR credit for this, or i’ll have to use the 2016…

Hey Dan, can I book 2 nights with this promotion while also adding on another 2 nights from my Hilton points (either points first or after the BOGO stay) or would that make me ineligible for the BOGO?

So if I book two different participating hotels back to back, 2 nights in first, check out then 2 nights in next, that should still qualify. Is that correct?

I’m looking to stay 5 nights at Conrad Bangkok. What would be great is if I book 2 nights BOGO, 1 award night (I can use my dad’s account to book under my name), then another 2 nights BOGO. Or I can use my dad’s account to book the middle night in my wife’s name. Technically this should work, but do you think it’ll cause problems?

Dan

What kind of ID is needed at check-in, if my wife passport is in her maiden name and her reserve card is in her married name, do you for see that being an issue? I’m guessing I would make the reservation in her married name to match the credit card info.

Any advice would be appreciated

I’m on the phone with concierge and they say I need to pay tax…is this correct?

im getting 1385$ for two nights from Oct 25-27 and 1140$ from Oct 30th to Nov 1st. anyway to get the above deal??

Any way I can book two rooms for one night and have that count as BOGO? We need two rooms for one night. Thanks

Bring a copy of your marriage certificate.

Thanks Dan! We booked WA Jerusalem!

for some reason the night im looking is available but when i try to book this comes up.

There are no available rooms found for requested dates. Please conduct your search for a different location or date. You can also call our reservations team for assistance. (PID10)

Dan – thanks for all you do for the rest of us.
Question to all, when booking via the link they allow 3 people in the room but when booking directly through waldorf the limit is 2 so do they allow two adults and a child?

Anyone actually successful in booking the Waldorf Jerusalem? Visa Signature site says available, and then i go to book it and enter all my information and it comes back ‘unavailable’.

Called on the phone and after 40 minutes they came up with the same thing I did. Very frustrating.

Booked for 2 – 2 night stays (non-consecutive) in the Waldorf Jerusalem in November. Now I gotta figure out how to get 2 more nights (consecutive to one of my bookings) at discount. Thanks Dan!!!

Can I book 2 nights that come with my Hilton reserve and then the next 2 nights using this deal? Or is it better to play it safe and book the 2 nights with the signature card in my wife’s name?

Looking for Jan 22-24 and it’s telling me there’s no rooms available… why is that?

I just booked two nights at the Waldorf Jerusalem for two nights in February. I was confirmed BOGO.

Dan, I have read on other blogs that the wording is poor and that it is actually the 3rd night free. Several other readers have confirmed that was what was told to them when calling in, too. That it is stay 2 night and THEN get a free night. Have you heard this? Thanks!

@Dave:
You book on that page.

@trocker:
Each promo page says you can also get the other offer. Look at the banners.

@SamKey:
Nice.

@Tsai Huang:
How is that better than BOGO?

@Matthew:
Not sure, try calling and let us know?

@longball:
Enjoy!

@Ketan:
The wording is vague, but the $75 offer might only be good once.
The BOGO offer works multiple times.

@Sara:
Read the post. The 2nd night is taken off at checkout.

@Mark:
It should work, but the hotel might disallow that, so YMMV.

@Sara:
Read the post. The 2nd night is taken off at checkout.

@Moish:
Not officially.

@Yair:
Time of stay.

@Nate:
That will work.

@AR:
Yes.

@Dave:
Should work, but YMMV.

@Sol:
Get a card for her in her maiden name or bring your marriage licence.

@Mindy:
Not in Israel if you’re a tourist.

@moshe:
Read the post. The 2nd night is taken off at checkout.

@mo:
No.

@Yehudis:
Enjoy!

@Children:
They allow children.

@hhonors:
Yes.

@G:
Enjoy!

@ZD:
You can.

@Sholey:
Enjoy!

@Rikki:
False.

@Rikki: Read the T&C and see for yourself it says stay 2 or more nights and get one free!
Minimum 2-night consecutive stay required. To be eligible for 1 free night.(basically saying in order for us to give you a free night you must stay 2 days to get yourself a free day and pay for one!

Does anyone think it’s worth applying for one of these card just for this deal? And if so which card is better?

I am getting this error when trying to book.with my CSR
Invalid Visa Premium Card Number

Any thoughts?

@Matthew:
Confirmed all details of reservation directly with WA today. Free night (charged directly to visa on checkout, resort credit, early check in and late checkout, and free breakfast. Free breakfast is only for two people even when putting 4 in the room during booking.

Dan

i can apply for a Credit card with my wifes maiden name even though legally it was changed to her married name.

I havent changed over passport because didnt think it was necessary and it is not free and didnt want to waste money.

Are the “Back-to-back stays booked under the same name within 24 hours at the same hotel are considered one stay regardless of check-out and check-in activity.” based on the name on the reservation or the credit card number?

If I reserve the first two nights under my name (and pay with my sapphire preferred card) and the second two nights under wife’s name and pay with her sapphire preferred card (same cc # as my card)do they recognize it as the same or separate reservations?

Hi Dan, Thanks much we just checked in to the waldorf Jerusalem for 2 nights and they said by check in that they you don’t see that we will get credit for the 2nd night, and they also didn’t know anything about the $25 food credit, I also see 3 pending $1300 charges on my card,please advise if I should be worried, Thanks
Baruch

does it work with a non US issued visa infinity?

Dan,

Awesome Post…THANKS

Booked 2 nights in November at Waldorf Jerusalem….was $450 a night…comes to $225…plus 75 visa gift card drops it to under $200..

Love that place!

Love it even more now!!!!

MG

Hi Dan, I am trying to book for myself and 3 kids (ages 4,3,and 6months) for Jerusalem Waldorf. When I search for 2 adults it brings up availability but with kids says nothing is available. Are there kid friendly rooms/suites? Any suggestions?
TIA

All shobbosim in Jan And Feb booked!

@dan they’re competing with amex travel.com offer of buy 3 nights get the 3rd off.. competition is awesome!

I can’t book…I keep getting and error saying my card CSR isn’t valid and this message

@Baruch:
Call the help number.

@Eli:
Lol

@Jojo:
And, did you call?

Yes Dan i called.

i spoke to chase and visa and 3 other dept in between and no one has a clue what to do. chase says there isnt any charge trying to be processed, sounds like there is an issue on there end. i tried to call and have them book me and the Rep was having the same issue. i am at a loss with who to turn to next. i guess its just not meant to be,

@Jojo:
Did you upgrade from another card to Sapphire Reserve?

Nope brand new CSR got it last month. the card works in other places ive used it.

@Jojo: just randomly started working.

super strange!

what was the end of your story?

@Doubling up: I spoke to Visa Signature Concierge and after reading the terms they said there is nothing specific in the T&C that mentions it however they understand it to mean that it is based on the name on the reservation and should not be an issue.

Thanks Dan!!

I contacted Visa Signature Concierge Service today with some questions about the promotion, and the rep (Ben) told me that 90% of the calls they received today regarding this promotion were about the Waldorf in Jerusalem… 😉

@shlonx

great! and thanks for calling

I booked 4 nights in January. The page mentioned the free night, but didn’t say anything about the
$75?gift card. I used your link to make the reservations. Will I be receiving the $75 gift card also. Second question. Does the hotel tax qualify for VAT to receive a refund at the airport .thanks

Booked two nights, was charged $948, which makes the ad misleading for $165 per night. So cancelled,

@shlonx: @shlonx: I booked two nights just now but I suggest anyone else thinking of going to the Waldorf in Jerusalem books very fast before someone wakes up and they pull this as I imagine most of the bookings are only for two nights as well!

When I Use a Visa Signature Card to reserve a room. Do I have to use that same exact card to pay with at hotel checkout or can I use a different Visa Signature Card at time of hotel checkout?

What is the shtick with booking 2 different reservations back to back, irrespective of check in-out times? 2 different groups of guests? if booked one night can add another? Or am I missing something else?

Thanks!

Dan,

You are the Man…thanks again.

I booked 2 separate 2 night stays…they are consecutive…booked with 2 different Chase Saffire (100k point offer)…one in my name and one in my wife’s name.

Was thinking check out of first room and check into wifes room…do you think this will work for hitting this offer twice?

How does it work at Waldorf regarding checking out on Shabbat?

Last but not least…when get to Visa checkout page no mention of $75 gift card….how do you lock that piece down?

Thanks again…including the $300 travel piece back from the Saffire card per card…comes out to like $60/night at the Waldorf for 4 nights! Breakfast alone for 2 is worth that!

Thanks….

i booked 2 three day stays a day apart (in other words i will be going to Netanya one night in between)… Will I get a free night and a gift card for each one?

will they allow me to put a cot in their standard room at Waldord Jerusalem or only in their suites?

@sam: i emailed them and they said that kids are free and said they will put a crib in the room for me at no extra charge.

If I booked on two different card numbers under the same name each two nights(4 consecutive nights) do you think I will receive the BOGO twice… one for each card?

Dan,

I called Visa LHC to confirm my 2night reservation at the waldorf Jeruslam(i did get the bogo night), I inquired about the $75 GC and they said bc i used an Infinite card (CSP) it is not eligible, it must be a Visa signature card.
Do you know anything about this?
Thanks for all your help!

Dan,
Interestingly enough, the Concierge agent just called me back and informed me that he just spoke to other members in his office and they told him that I would be eligible using the CSR infinite card.
Im curious if i will get it in the end…

One more thing, after he told me “i was not eligible” i emailed Visa concierge and look who replied to my email
“Warm regards,
UNY CHOI
Luxury Hotel Specialist”
This person sent me the TC and made it in red for me saying that I was not eligible too bc of the infinite card.

Unless UNY CHOI means something that im not aware of, I think that is the same name of the person that emailed you saying that you were eligible.

Like i said though, the original person i spoke to called me back after all this and told me I should get the $75 card.
Whole thing seems weird.

I think the deal is dead

DEAD – the welcome screen now says: “Due to the unexpected popularity of the Hilton free night offer, hotel inventory subject to this offer booked up much sooner than anticipated and is no longer available. We are sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused. Please note that the $75 USD gift card promotion is still available at Participating Hilton Hotels, see the offer page for more information.” That is not too surprising given what #96 was told “90% of the calls they received today regarding this promotion were about the Waldorf in Jerusalem… 😉” The same Uny Choi who told you Dan that you would get the $75 card with an Infinite card now tells me I will not. They have messed this one big time. Promotions like this are supposed to generate good will not the opposite.

@Dan: The same Uny Choi has told me a VISA USD 75 gift card will be only eligible when booked with Visa Signature card. Suggestions please? Can you let me have the date you were sent your clear and explicit email.

Booked a room for my father, I wil not be there nor will the card.
Is the reservation still valid?

BOGO is dead

Hi,
Thanks! I booked this deal with a visa signature business card I have to be sure to get the deal. I went that day to Chase and applied and was approved for Chase Sapphire Reserve. Called today to switch cc on reservation and they said I shouldn’t because promotion is now not available and changing card on reservation might cancel my previous reservation. The person suggested I just pay with my Chase Reserve card and it should be fine (and show them the chases reserve to keep on file when I check in). Thoughts? Do you think that will be fine. I want to get 2 for 1 nights, $75 gc and $25 food credit and charge it to Reserve card to get the $300 travel credit. Thanks

@Anonymous:
Just change the card in the hotel.

Dan
I booked 2 rooms with 2 separate resevations for the Same days will I get the promotion for both rooms ?

Dan please help me,
I have 2 rooms booked on the same 2 dates, same hotel(waldorf, Jerusalem)with both a bogo deal. same name on the reservation. will i get the deal on each room? can i do it with the same card? or i can use two different card as well.

Does anyone know if you can change the dates on the reservations? I had to change the dates of my trip.

Dan – can you do a follow up post to see how people did?
How did back to back bookings work out (was the hotel accommodating)?
Was anyone able to switch the cc at check out?
Did CSR get the $75 gift card?
…And the multitude of other concerns people had….

Thanks

@Anonymous: I was there a few weeks ago. Booked 2 nights on my card, the next 2 on my wife’s, and the last 2 back on mine.

They charge us for a total of 3 nights, not 6. They did not make us check out/in between reservations, and, they upgraded us to a top floor deluxe room with a balcony.

What an amazing experience!

Thanks Dan – this was all thanks to you.

The Waldorf Jerusalem was sold – don’t think that it will continue to be a Hilton.
