  Raffles do you know if the Hilton double miles or points offer is combinable with the Virgin bonus points offer?

  • Alan says:

    25 Feb25 February 10:48

    Based on previous Hilton promos you’ll have no trouble receiving both 🙂

    • Think Square says:

      Ah – but should you take double points or double miles? (One for an article maybe, Rob)

      • Alan says:

        25 Feb25 February 12:44

        Double points 🙂 The miles earning is shockingly poor now the fixed bonuses have gone. Even if you want to have you earning as points+miles for any mileage promo that’s on you’ll still earn the bonus points if you’ve signed up for that offer – you don’t need to be on points+points to earn the extra 10 per USD 🙂

  2 years diamond hitting the nights target easily after defecting from Marriott – not eligible.

  Not often something from HFP pisses me off…..

  Nkthing for me either! I wonder what the criteria is to be eligible?!

  Seeing as this is a “bits and bobs” article. The Club magazine have a new offer with the Gourmet Society

  “Get a four-month membership to the Gourmet Society plus a half-case of wine for £4.49”

  Looks like a good bargain, for £9.48 you get

  4 month membership
  250 avios
  £40 wine voucher (no conditional spend from what I can tell)

  Offer ends 11th March

  • ComeFlyWithMe123 says:

    25 Feb25 February 14:35

    The £9.48 includes the £4.99 delivery cost for the wine

      Didn’t see the Avios bit, wasn’t mention in the brief description.

  Wow! Incredible! Got the 100k, and I haven’t stayed with Hilton in yonks (I’m Diamond by way of AmEx Cent).

  Is 100k Hilton points worth much? How much would a night at a typical Conrad cost?

  • Rob says:

    25 Feb25 February 16:40

    I’d value it at £300. 80k for a Conrad is about right.

    • JK says:

      25 Feb25 February 16:59

      Wow! Can’t complain about that! Will have to see if they have any nice properties in Dubai, Bali or Kuala Lumpur for a trip in April.

      • Think Square says:

        25 Feb25 February 22:29

        IME… Conrad Bali (50k per night) is disappointing; Hilton KL (40k per night) is fab. Can’t remember ever staying in a Dubai Hilton, so either I haven’t or it was forgettable!

  Now that I’ve had two stays on the BAEC Hilton (3500) promo where else should I credit my stays?

  I can’t see an Iberia promo and nothing for VS which is unusual!

    Virgin are doing 3 x miles

  Any diamond members that “aren’t eligible” – tweet @Hiltonhotels and tell them. Marketing departments have a lot of clout. Cant hurt to show how pissed off the most loyal members of HH are by this…..

  Seems to be working now and got a rather different offer to everyone else….. I wonder if this is why it was ‘down’ for a while:
  You’re now registered to take advantage of this exclusive offer. Each stay through April 30, 2015, will count double toward the number of stays needed to achieve your 2016 tier status. Book now and get a boost on upgrading your tier status today.
