Hilton HHonors has launched a new bonus promotion with Lufthansa Miles & More for anyone who would prefer to take airline miles as part of their Hilton HHonors earnings.

It covers stays from January 1st to March 31st.  Registration is required via this website.

You will earn:

Standard Miles & More miles (1 per $1) on your first stay

Double miles on your second stay

Triple miles on your third stay

Quadruple miles on your fourth and further stays

Remember that Hilton HHonors has two earning options.  You can choose either:

‘Points & Points’ – 10 base and 5 bonus Hilton points per $1, or

‘Points & Miles’ – 10 base Hilton points and 1 airline mile per $1

As I value a Hilton HHonors point at 0.3p, it is generally better value to take 5 x 0.3p per $1 over 1 airline mile, which I would value at 1p max.  With this Lufthansa promotion, however, the miles are worth far more than the Hilton HHonors points from your second stay.

Of course, if you don’t already have a Miles & More account, there is no point in opening one just for this promotion.  You would never earn enough miles for a decent redemption.  That said, it is not a bad deal for existing Miles & More collectors.

Further details, and the registration page, can be found here.
