Maximise your Avios, air miles and hotel points

My 500 free Hilton points have posted

Links on Head for Points may support the site by paying a commission.  See here for all partner links.

Last month I did this article about two ways to get 500 free Hilton points.

500 points posted yesterday.  I believe these are from the DoubleTree promotion mentioned in that post.

The promotion still seems to be running, so it presumably hasn’t hit the cap of 40,000 participants yet.

There is still time to jump in if you want some free Hilton HHonors points.

How to earn Hilton Honors points and status from UK credit cards (April 2024)

There are various ways of earning Hilton Honors points from UK credit cards.  Many cards also have generous sign-up bonuses.

Do you know that holders of The Platinum Card from American Express receive FREE Hilton Honors Gold status for as long as they hold the card?  It also comes with Marriott Bonvoy Gold, Radisson Rewards Premium and MeliaRewards Gold status.  We reviewed American Express Platinum in detail here and you can apply here.

    I’m a regular Topguest user and have been quite successful with IHG (Will achieve Gold on Monday) and Best Western rewards (while that still worked). Although I’d signed up for the Hilton DoubleTree programme., I haven’t ever been in the vicinity of a DoubleTree property…plenty of Hiltons, but no DoubleTrees.

    I’d just stayed in the delightful Hilton Newbury North when my 500 points came through, so I thought my HHonors stay had triggered the bonus as the way of a reminder, but from the activity on FlyerTalk, it looks like everyone’s 500 bonus points all posted on the same day.

    Thanks Raffles for all of the free points…..

    The Doubletree link tossed me out just after I entered my HH number and clicked facebook. It may be restricted now to US residents?
