UPDATE – JUNE 2025: This Hilton article is now out of date, but don’t worry.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.

Registration is now open for the new Hilton HHonors September to December promotion. It is called ‘Double Up‘ and I briefly mentioned last week.
Like the Hilton Summer promotion – which got me 60,000 bonus points on my stay at Hilton Sa Torre in Mallorca – it wins the 2016 award for simplest hotel promotion: you will receive double base points on every stay. No hotels excluded, no cap, no minimum stay requirements.
The only ‘tweak’ is that some members seem to be receiving an additional offer when they register. I didn’t.
You need to register to take part and this can be done via the Hilton website here.
One thing that is worth noting is that there is NOT a ‘double miles’ option as we have seen in the past. This may turn up in a few weeks. At the moment, if you take airline miles from your Hilton stays, you will only be earning them at the standard rate.
For once, no hotels are excluded.
It is valid for stays from 1st September to 31st December.
You still receive double base points if you choose ‘points and miles’ (usually 10 base points per $1 plus 1 airline mile per $1) instead of ‘points and points’ (usually 10 base points per $1 plus 5 bonus base points per $1).
You can register for ‘Double Up’ here. No registration = no bonus.
I would recommend registering now in case you forget later given that the offer runs until the end of December.

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.
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.
