Hilton HHonors has launched a rather attractive promotion in conjunction with Iberia Plus which is worth a look if need a hotel over a weekend this Autumn.

You will earn 1,000 bonus Avios for EVERY weekend night (Friday, Saturday or Sunday) you spend in a Hilton Group property before 16th December.  All brands are included – Hilton, Conrad, Hampton Inn, Waldorf-Astoria etc, although Hampton and Homewood Suites only offer 200 bonus points.

These points are on top of the usual 750 Avios points per stay that you earn when you credit a Hilton stay to Iberia Plus.

To take part, you need to register here.  Some people have reported difficulty with registering – if it doesn’t work, try a different browser.

To earn the bonus Avios, you need to set your Hilton HHonors earning preference to either ‘Hilton Points & Fixed Miles’ (in which case you earn 750 base Avios plus the bonus) or ‘Hilton Points & Variable Miles’ (in which case you earn 1.5 Avios per US$1 plus the bonus).  You do NOT get the bonus Avios if your account is set to ‘Hilton Points & Hilton Points’.

Remember to set your airline preference to Iberia Plus and NOT to British Airways Executive Club!  You will not receive the bonus if you select BA.

The rules say that stays must be booked after registration.  My feeling, though, is that stays you have already booked will still qualify.  That said, if you have a flexible booking and the price is the same then you may not want to take the risk.

The rules also say that the bonus Avios may take six weeks to appear in Iberia Plus.  From there, you can move them to BA or avios.com using ‘Combine My Avios’.
