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 double (or more) points on hotel stays. And its latest rendition is an easy one to double your points.
Hilton Honors recently announced a new “Double Your Stay” promo, which is good for all Hilton hotel stays from Sept. 6 through Dec. 31. By signing up for this latest promo, all Hilton Honors members will earn double points on their Hilton stays through the end of the year.
But it can get even better. If you check out on a Monday through a Friday, you'll get an extra 2,000-point bonus on top.
These promos can massively accelerate how many Hilton Honors points you earn on paid hotel stays. That helps offset Hilton's fairly lackluster points program – Hilton's unpredictable and often sky-high award rates mean cashing in your Hilton Honors points won't get you as far as other Hotel programs.
You can register now for this new promo – and you should. Whether you've already got a Hilton stay later in 2022 on the books 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.
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 extra Hilton Honors points.
Let's say you're just an everyday Hilton Honors member with a two-night stay at a Hilton property in Chicago this fall, paying $150 per night, checking in Monday and checking out Wednesday. Without this promo, that stay would earn you 3,000 Hilton Honors Points.
So long as you registered in advance, that same stay would earn:
- Base points: 10 points per dollar X $150 X 2 nights = 3,000 Hilton Honors Points
- Promo bonus: 10 points per dollar X $150 X 2 nights = 3,000 Hilton Honors Points
- Weekday check-out bonus = 2,000 Hilton Honors Points
- 8,000 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 carrying the The Platinum Card® from American Express. On that same two-night stay in Chicago, you would earn:
- Base points: 10 points per dollar X $150 X 2 nights = 3,000 Hilton Honors Points
- Promo bonus: 10 points per dollar X $150 X 2 nights = 3,000 Hilton Honors Points
- Status bonus: 8 bonus points per dollar X $150 X 2 nights = 2,400 Hilton Honors Points
- Weekday check-out bonus = 2,000 Hilton Honors Points
- 10,400 points total
But the best is reserved for top-tier Hilton members who pay with a Hilton co-branded credit card, as that gets triple points through this promo. So booking that exact same Chicago trip using a Hilton Honors Aspire Card – which unlocks instant Hilton Diamond Status – you would earn:
- Base points: 10 points per dollar X $150 X 2 nights = 3,000 Hilton Honors Points
- Promo bonus: 10 points per dollar X $150 X 2 nights = 3,000 Hilton Honors Points
- Status bonus: 10 bonus points per dollar X $150 X 2 nights = 3,000 Hilton Honors Points
- Credit card bonus: 14 points per dollar X $150 X 2 nights = 4,200 Hilton Honors Points
- Weekday check-out bonus = 2,000 Hilton Honors Points
- 15,200 points total
That is a ton of points for a two-night stay. At the very top end, you're earning a whopping 50x points by maxing out this promo. But no matter how far you can get, it's worth registering to earn double Hilton points (at the very minimum) through the end of the year.
Bottom Line
Depending on your status and what's in your wallet, this new Hilton Honors promo can be incredibly lucrative. But no matter what's in your travel plans through the end of the year, it's easy to register for this promo to rack up Hilton points faster on any hotel stays starting in early September all the way through 2022.
