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.
