Hilton Honors has just launched its new Summer promotion, More Nights More Points, which is now open for registration – click here.

To give Hilton credit, it is very straightforward with minimal small print:

• you will earn double Hilton Honors base points for every stay between 3rd May and 6th September

• even better, you will earn triple base points on stays of 3+ nights

There is no cap to what you can earn and there are no minimum stay requirements.  The bonus will trigger on reward stays given how similar promotions have worked in the past.

The bonus is calculated from the base points you are due, excluding any status bonus. The bonus points do not count towards status.

There is no small print

There is no small print except that you need to register in advance via the Hilton website:

• there is no minimum stay requirement

• existing bookings still count

• all Hilton Family properties (Hilton, Hampton, Curio, Waldorf Astoria, Conrad etc) are taking part

This is a good deal on 3+ night stays

I tend to value a Hilton Honors point at 0.33p.

The main Hilton brands earn 10 base points per $1 spent. If you were a Gold Elite member, you would be earning 38 points per $1 on a 3+ night stay with this offer.

This is the equivalent of 50 points per £1.

(My maths is based on £1 to $1.40 and knocking off the 5% VAT.)

At 0.33p per point, you are earning a 17% rebate on your spending in points, which isn’t bad.

Remember that Hilton is still offering a status match

If you have top tier status with another hotel programme, Hilton Honors will give you a 90 day free trial of Hilton Gold status.  You can request a status match here.

You need to supply a screenshot showing your top tier status in another programme plus a screenshot showing a paid stay in the previous 12 months.

If you complete 5 nights during the 90 days you will keep your Gold status until 31st March 2023.  If you complete 9 nights during the 90 days you will be elevated to top-tier Diamond status until 31st March 2023.

Conclusion

2x or 3x base points per stay is a decent offer, especially on 3+ night stays which trigger triple points.

Make sure you register here if you have any Hilton stays coming up this Summer.

Even if you don’t have any stays planned, it is still worth registering just in case – a lot can happen between now and 6th September.

Let’s see what IHG and Marriott launch to compete with this ….

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.
