The Offer
- Hilton Honors yesterday leaked their latest promotion that will run from September 8 until December 31. Members will earn double points (with a checkout between September 8 and December 31) and double elite nights.
The Fine Print
- What is the promotion? Registered Hilton Honors members will earn double Hilton Honors Bonus Points per stay during the Promotion Period as well as double night credits. Double Bonus Points means you will receive a bonus equal to the number of Base Points earned during a stay. Double night credit means one additional, tier qualifying night credit will be awarded for each night stayed in the promo period.
- What is the Promotion Period for the “Double Rewards” Hilton Honors promotion? September 8, 2020 through December 31, 2020 (‘Promotion Period’)
- How will the Bonus Points be awarded? Registered Hilton Honors members checking in before September 8, 2020 will receive double Hilton Honors Bonus Points for their stay if the stay is completed on or after September 8, 2020 and prior to or on December 31, 2020. Registered Hilton Honors members will receive double night credit for all nights completed in the promotion period, regardless of a check-in date before the Promotion Period begins or a check-out date after the Promotion Period ends. Double nights will count towards Hilton Honors members’ 2020 night count and will be eligible for rollover night credit.
- Will the double night credit count towards Milestone Bonuses or rollover nights? Yes – the double night credit will count towards Milestone Bonuses, fast tracks, and rollover nights.
Our Verdict
I’m guessing that most Hilton elites are not really caring about elite status at the moment and Hilton is trying to entice some stays with the rollover and double elite night credits.
Hat tip to Loyalty Lobby
i have quite a bit of work travel coming this fall. All the hilton promos and bonuses make it a gravy train if you can take advantage. All credit card points count as base points. Double base points Amex offer. This double points promo and double elite nights. It’s pretty amazing if you value hilton at all.
Your move Hyatt….
With diamond status does double points mean I’d earn 30 points per dollar or 40 points per dollar?
30
So, any stays earning double points and double night credits must be booked before September 8th? The actual stay can take place between September 8th and December 31? Thanks
No. You can book any time. It doesn’t even the term “book” or “booking” in the explanation above. I thus don’t even understand why you might have thought that it “must be booked before September 8th”, when it doesn’t say any such thing above.
Plain and simple, any night ending between September 8th and December 31 that you stay will count, no matter when you book it. (But you must book it through Hilton, of course, not through a third party, to be sure that you earn Hilton points.)
Suuuuhweet. I booked December 31st in Puerto Rico. Let’s hope I can actually go!
Until full services resume, the only promo that makes sense is something like Hyatt’s 25% points rebate. Hard pass on this promo and a bummer that it runs until the end of the year. Either bring back full services (not quite possible right now) or reduce your pricing by 1/4 to compensate.
I’m hoping for Q4 Hyatt does Rollover Nights any hope?
They’ve never done roll-over but here’s to hoping! I’d love it, too.
It seems like a lot of brands are doing things they’ve never done before though. I’d even be happy with Rollovers called at the 100 night mark so only 40 night credits max that way you’re still having to stay next year to requalify. Here’s to hoping they do something like it!
I agree. Status doesn’t mean much for US-based members due to the Aspire card. Milestone rewards aren’t that enticing as well. This might only be helpful for those who are close to reaching Lifetime status and live in an area with a lot of cheap Hilton properties.
Why do you care about “full services”? Isn’t it enough that bring back those services which you want? Who cares if they don’t bring back every service you wouldn’t use? But it requires bringing back EVERY service to be able to say “full services resumed”.
There are Hilton family hotels now serving hot breakfast, but not having something else open (maybe the pool, maybe the fitness room), are you going to stay away until EVERY SINGLE THING there is open (just so you can call it “full services resumed”)?
I only care about a fraction of the services, and as long as those have reasonably resumed, I’m going to stay there.
And Hyatts haven’t necessarily resumed “full services” any more than Hilton! I see complaints about specific Hyatt’s not having this or that service constantly on FlyerTalk.
At least Hilton shows you which services are operating and which are not operating, for many hotels, on the hotel’s individual website. Does Hyatt give you that detail?
And thus I found a Hampton last week with hot breakfast, and I’ll be staying at a Hilton Garden Inn with the restaurant open for breakfast this week.
