Earning points as normal when you stay at a Hilton – or not earning points at all? You're doing it wrong: Hilton almost always has an ongoing promotion to earn bonus points on hotel stays. And its upcoming promo is an easy one to earn some extra points on Hilton stays through the end of the year.
Hilton Honors just unveiled its new Double Your Stay promotion to earn twice as many points for each and every Hilton stay from Jan. 1 through April 30, 2025. And there's no limit to how many bonus points you can earn with this new promotion.
Whether you've already got a Hilton stay lined up for early next year or not, it's worth registering for this promo to make sure you earn as many points as possible. Do it now before you forget!
Staying at a Hilton before the end of the year? You can still register for its “Power Up” promo and earn 2,500 bonus points on every stay.
These bonus points helps offset Hilton's fairly lackluster points program, as Hilton's unpredictable and often sky-high award rates mean cashing in your Hilton Honors won't get you as far as other hotel programs. And this is one of the best promos we've seen from Hilton in a while.
And again, there's no limit to how many bonus points you can earn through this promotion! The only requirement is that you must check out by April 30 in order to earn these bonus points. You can even earn double points on award stays booked with Hilton Honors points, though only on incidentals charged to your room.
So whether you've already got an upcoming Hilton stay booked next year through the end of April 2025 or not, it's a no-brainer to register since you won't earn these bonus points if you don't sign up for the promo beforehand. Hilton stays you've already booked will still earn this bonus so long as you register before your trip.
How this Hilton Honors Promo Adds Up
Let's put this Hilton Honors promo in action with a handful of examples to show you just how much this promo can help you pile up some extra Hilton Honors points.
Let's say you're just an everyday Hilton Honors member with a two-night stay at the LondonHouse Chicago, paying about $450 a night for a weekend visit in March. If you don't register for this promo, you'd earn 9,000 Hilton Honors points since you (almost always) earn a flat 10x points per dollar.
So as long as you register for this new promo before your stay (but not necessarily before you book) and use a digital key through the Hilton app at some point during your trip, that same stay would earn:
- Base points: 10 points per dollar X $450 X 2 nights = 9,000 Hilton Honors Points
- 9,000 bonus Hilton Honors Points
- 18,000 points total
But maybe you've got Hilton Honors Gold Status – one of our favorites among the big hotel chains – from racking up previous Hilton stays or simply having *amex platinum card*.
On that same two-night stay in Chicago, you would earn:
- Base points: 10 points per dollar X $450 X 2 nights = 9,000 Hilton Honors Points
- Status bonus: 8 bonus points per dollar X $450 X 2 nights = 7,200 Hilton Honors Points
- 9,000 bonus Hilton Honors Points
- 25,200 points total
But the best is reserved for top-tier Hilton members who pay with a Hilton co-branded credit card, as that earns even more points for every buck you spend. So booking that same Chicago hotel using a Hilton Honors Aspire Card – which also unlocks instant Hilton Diamond Status – you would earn:
- Base points: 10 points per dollar X $450 X 2 nights = 9,000 Hilton Honors Points
- Status bonus: 10 bonus points per dollar X $450 X 2 nights = 9,000 Hilton Honors Points
- Credit card bonus: 14 points per dollar X $450 X 2 nights = 12,600 Hilton Honors Points
- 9,000 bonus Hilton Honors Points
- 39,600 points total
At the top end, you're earning more than 43 Hilton Honors points per dollar by stacking this promotion with all the other ways to pile up points faster. But no matter how far you can get, it's still worth registering to earn some extra Hilton points next year.
Bottom Line
Depending on your status and what's in your wallet, this upcoming Hilton Honors promo can be a huge boost. But no matter what's in your travel plans for this winter and spring, it's easy to register for this promo to rack up Hilton points faster on any hotel stays from Jan. 1 through April 30, 2025.
Do it now before you forget!
