I have run a number of articles on Head for Points in the last couple of weeks about opportunities for earning bonus Hilton HHonors points:

2,500 points for your next stay

2,000 points per night for Conrad and Waldorf-Astoria stays

2,000 / 3,000 / 5,000 points for your next three Conrad and Waldorf-Astoria stays

Double or triple points – depending on the day of the week – with the new ‘Triple Your Trip’ promotion

All of these offers will combine if you are staying with the appropriate brand or geographic region.

Bearing these promotions in mind, it is worth a quick reminder about the Hilton Summer Sale.  This offers discounts of up to 33% off the Best Available Rate for hotels in Europe, the Middle East and Africa.

There is a special home page for this promotion which you can find here.

These rates are valid:

Until 30 September, weekends only, for the UK and Europe (some hotels have weekday availability in August)

Until 5 October, every day, for the Middle East and Africa

Rates are non-refundable

If you can get the right deal here you could do very nicely from it.  The Waldorf-Astoria in Berlin, for example, would be just €140 per night from Friday 15 August to Sunday 17 August.  This would trigger the 2,500 points ‘next stay’ bonus and 4,000 points for a two-night Waldorf-Astoria stay and 2,000 points from the other Waldorf promotion and triple points via ‘Triple My Trip’!

Closer to home, the huge suite we had at Hilton St George’s Park at the National Football Centre (review coming later this week) is selling for £180 for a random Friday in August, compared to the cheapest comparable rate of £260.

How to earn Hilton Honors points and status from UK credit cards (July 2025)

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.

SPECIAL OFFER: Until 14th August 2025, the sign-up bonus on the Hilton Honors Plus debit card is TRIPLED to 30,000 Hilton Honors points. You will also receive Gold Elite status in Hilton Honors for as long as you hold the card. Click here for our full card review and click here to apply.

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.

We reviewed the Hilton Honors Plus Debit Card here and the Hilton Honors Debit Card here.

You can apply for either card here.
