Hilton is running another London ‘Secret Socials’ in November

Hilton Honors is running another of its ‘Secret Socials’ gigs on 14th November. This one will be at The Biltmore in Mayfair.
That’s the good news.
The bad news is that it sold out so quickly that we couldn’t get an alert up in time. This is despite the fact that tickets have gone up from 35,000 to 60,000 Hilton Honors points per pair (which I’d value at £200), and that the number of pairs made available to members was doubled to 20.
Recent artists who have played these gigs include Kylie Minogue, Ellie Goulding, Stormzy and Becky Hill. You won’t find who is playing here until the night itself.
I can guarantee, based on recent ones, that you will be overrun with champagne and canapes both pre and post gig.
I know at least two readers managed to get tickets via a SeatSpy alert. I had already been invited on a media pass, but I don’t know who the artist is either! If you did get tickets, I’ll see you there.
How to earn Hilton Honors points and status from UK credit cards (October 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.
We reviewed the Hilton Honors Plus Debit Card here and the Hilton Honors Debit Card here.
You can apply for either card here.
