Hilton launches an Australasia and South East Asia hotel flash sale

Links on Head for Points may support the site by paying a commission.  See here for all partner links.

Hilton is running an Australasia and South East Asia flash sale which runs until Tuesday 2nd April.  See here for details.

The deals are valid for stays until the end of January 2020.

Countries covered include Australia, New Zealand, Thailand, Singapore, Indonesia and other South East Asia destinations.

Millennium Hilton Bangkok

The headline saving is an impressive ‘up to’ 35% off the standard flexible rate – albeit these bookings are non-refundable – so it is worth looking to see if any existing Hilton bookings you have should be rebooked.  It may also be worth cancelling redemptions and rebooking for cash if the rate is low enough.

There is a 15% discount on dining during your stay for anyone who books during this sale.

Full details can be found on this special page of hilton.com.

How to earn Hilton Honors points and status from UK credit cards (December 2024)

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.
