How to earn quadruple Avios AND triple points with the current Hilton promotions

UPDATE – JUNE 2025:  This Hilton article is now out of date, but don’t worry.  We produce a monthly summary of the top hotel bonus point offers – please click HERE or use the ‘Hotel Offers’ menu above.

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.

There are two interesting Hilton HHonors promotions running until December, both of which I have covered on Head for Points before:

For points collectors, on the ‘points and points’ option, you have ‘Triple Your Trip‘ which I covered here.  You receive double base points on weekday stays and triple base points on weekend stays.  No minimum stay required.  This offer ends on 31st December.

For Avios collectors, on the ‘points and miles’ option, you have a special BA / Hilton promotion which I covered here.  This offers quadruple Avios at London hotels and triple Avios at other participating Hilton hotels across Europe, the Middle East and Africa.  No minimum stay required.  This offer ends on 13th December.

I had assumed that these offers were mutually exclusive.  It seems not.

Here is a reminder of the usual Hilton HHonors earning options, ignoring the bonuses above:

If you choose ‘points and points’, you earn 10 base points and 5 Hilton HHonors bonus points per $1 spent

If you choose ‘points and miles’, you earn 10 base points and 1 British Airways Avios per $1 spent

If you register for both promotions, and set your Hilton HHonors earning preference to ‘points and miles’ with BA as your airline partner, it seems that you will receive:

double or triple points on the ‘points’ element and

triple or quadruple Avios on ‘miles’ element

Let’s assume that you spend the equivalent of $1,000 (£660) on a London hotel on midweek dates.  You would receive:

20,000 Hilton HHonors points (10 x $1,000 x double points) which I would value at £60, and

4,000 Avios points (1 x $1,000 x 4) which I would value at £40

That is a 15% return on your spending, which is not a bad return for a hotel promotion during the busy Autumn period.

How to earn Hilton Honors points and status from UK credit cards (June 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.

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.
