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 while its latest promo is by no means enormous, it's an easy way to earn some extra points on Hilton stays in the coming months.

Hilton Honors just unveiled its new Points Unlimited promotion to earn 2,000 bonus points for each and every Hilton stay from Jan. 15 through April 30, 2026. While that's far short of the double (or even triple) points accelerators we've seen in the past, there's no limit to how many bonus points you can earn with this new promotion. Just keep in mind: It's 2,000 points per stay – not per night.

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!

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 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 also earn 2,000 points on award stays booked with Hilton Honors points and even Hilton free night certificates.

So whether you've already got an upcoming Hilton stay booked next year through the end of April 2026 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), that same stay would earn:

  • Base points: 10 points per dollar X $450 X 2 nights = 9,000 Hilton Honors Points
  • 2,000 bonus Hilton Honors Points
  • 11,000 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 the American Express 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
  • 2,000 bonus Hilton Honors Points
  • 18,200 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
  • 2,000 bonus Hilton Honors Points
  • 32,600 points total

If you really want some extra points, you could book each night separately to get 4,000 bonus points for your stay. Whether that's worth the hassle is up to you.

 

Bottom Line

No matter what's in your travel plans for this winter and spring, it's easy to register for this promo to rack up some bonus Hilton points faster on any hotel stays from Jan. 1 through April 30, 2026. Earning 2,000 bonus points for every stay through April isn't a ton, but it's also not nothing.
