MilesQuest has details of how to get 500 free Hilton HHonors points very quickly by linking to their Facebook page.

This worked fine for my wife’s account but not for mine.  This means, I think, that if you took part in a similar Facebook promotion that Hilton ran for Hampton Inn earlier in the year, then you are not eligible.

This is what you need to do:

Step 1. Go to https://doubletree.topguest.com

Step 2. Enter in your HHonors account and click the Facebook link.

You will receive your HHonors points in 6-8 weeks.

Meanwhile, Loyalty Traveler has news of a new Hampton Inn promotion which also offers 500 Hilton points, again via Facebook.  This is a bit more fiddly than the DoubleTree one but still seems to work OK.  It says US residents only, but then so did their last promo and I still got the 500 points!  Note that you can ‘untick’ the ‘Share’ button if you don’t want all your friends to see what you have done.

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

There are two dedicated Hilton Honors debit cards. These are especially attractive when spending abroad due to the 0% or 0.5% FX fee, depending on card.

You also receive FREE Hilton Honors status for as long as you hold the debit cards – Gold status with the Plus card and Silver status with the basic card. This is a great reason to apply even if you rarely use it.
